Spring Valley Lake & Wellspring Lake
Safety rules are posted at the lake and MUST be observed at all times. Walking on the docks, wading or swimming in the lake are not allowed without a lifeguard present.
Required: Deer Run provides lifejackets for participants ages 4 and up.
Life jackets are REQUIRED to be worn by EACH lake participant — regardless of swimming ability — for ALL lake activities including boats and canoeing. Bank fishing does not require a lifejacket.
The Wet Willie Waterslide at Spring Valley Lake has a 250 lb weight limit.
Because the waterslide is made of a vinyl coated polyester fabric, swimsuits cannot have metal or plastic zippers, grommets or metal of any kind since these damage the slide. Guests with these items on their swimsuit will not be allowed to go down the slide. No exceptions.
What to Bring
- females MUST wear a modest 1-piece swimsuit or tankini, or wear a dark t-shirt over 2-piece swimsuits
- beach towel, sunscreen, and waterproof shoes
- a certified life jacket for children age 3 and under
Archery & BB Range

What NOT To Wear
- sleeveless shirts, spaghetti strap tops or tank tops
- tight-fitting clothes or short shorts
- clothing with offensive language or promoting persons, bands or products which are offensive
