Recreation & Relaxation
Spring Lake is a wonderful place to step back in time, with tree-lined streets and gracious seashore cottages. Many Victorians spent their holidays in this picturesque village by the sea. Turn-of-the-century architecture stretches out in every direction and an unhurried atmosphere sweeps over you while crossing the lake's romantic footbridges or strolling the pristine beach and boardwalk You truly are caught somewhere in time… There is something for everyone just minutes from the Inn. Spring Lake is centrally located and is only approximately 65 miles from New York City and Philadelphia. Princeton and Atlantic City are also a great day trip (1 ¼ hour drive) from the Inn. The perfect getaway for relaxation as well as the perfect location to start out on a day's adventure. Inquire about our Audio Guided Walking Tour of Spring Lake and also our Nature Boardwalk Tour available for our guests. |
