Spring Meadow Lake State Park is a public recreation area covering 61 acres (25 ha) just west of Helena, Montana. Once the site of a gravel pit and factory, the state park centers around a man-made, spring-fed lake, [4] which is used for swimming, fishing, non-motorized boating, and scuba diving. [5] The park also offers picnicking, a mile-long trail around the lake, and ice fishing and ice skating in winter. [6] Largemouth bass, westslope cutthroat trout, yellow perch, and pumpkinseed are the main catches. [7] A fishing pier was added to 30-acre (12 ha) lake in 2011. [8]
