This lake is so wonderful. Comfort Inn & Suites is a good place to get some rest, and Lake Sheppard Spring Dam is not far at all from Lake Shepherd Springs. Lake Shepherd Springs is a wet location that gets a good deal of rain; of all the months in a year May is the one with the most rain, and the driest month of the year is January. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone
 
               but if it's for you then we recommend Little Mill Creek - East Fork, and you can go for a hike on the Shores Lake Water Rock Spur.
Whohoo, so much fun stuff in one place! The Boston Mountains is excellent! Silver Leaf Camp Park is a great campground nearby; Mount Gaylor Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore. Life's too short to enjoy all the entertaining stuff in close proximity to Lake Shepherd Springs. Some nearby water includes Cow Branch, and great hiking is available along the Butterfield Hiking Trail. This lake is so wonderful.
You just can't envision the amount of outdoors enjoyable stuff the Boston Mountains has to offer. If you come at the right time of year, Clear Creek offers some glorious whitewater, and dry warm beds await you at Days Inn Alma.

Clear Creek
This stretch of water is challenging. A lot of rapdids coming one after the other insures no boredom. We put in at Chester and rode it into Frog Bayou with the level at 2.9 We can hardly wait to see what it's like 3.5!...

Frog Bayou
I don't know where you are from, but you obviously don't know the best way to run Frog Bayou. It is not by raft. An open canoe is best. Kayaks are fine. But this is not the Rocky Mountain West and rafts are too big for these Ozark great creeks like Frog Bayou. Solo or tandem open canoes rule....
