Spring Lake Preserve is 251 acres of undeveloped parkland that sits just above the headwaters of the San Marcos River and is part of the Sink Creek watershed. San Marcos Springs and Spring Lake are rare ecological jewels among Texas water resources and a great place to look for a skink.

From I35 go west on Aquarena Springs Drive (Hwy 82) then right on Laurel Street to Aquarena Center. Go right at Y jct to the Texas River Center and park in the lot near Laurel.

Clues:
