Epping/Springbrook Dam is a 128-acre lake located 15 miles east of Williston, North Dakota. The lake allows both motorized and non-motorized watercraft, but operates under a strict no-wake policy, making it suitable for calm-water paddling. A boat ramp and dock provide easy access for launching kayaks and canoes.

The lake is surrounded by rolling prairie landscape, offering expansive views across the water. Beautiful bluffs rise up from the hills in certain areas, adding visual interest to paddling excursions. The shoreline features a mix of beach areas and developed recreation facilities.

Three ultrasonic algae control buoys are installed in the lake from spring through fall. While these buoys help maintain water quality by controlling algae growth, paddlers should avoid interfering with them. The lake occasionally experiences harmful algae blooms, so paddlers should check current conditions before launching.

Facilities include vault toilets, picnic pavilions, and a fishing platform. The lake supports populations of northern pike, walleye, and yellow perch, making it popular with anglers. Beach access is available for those wanting to combine paddling with swimming, though swimming is at your own risk.

The park offers both primitive and developed camping options for paddlers interested in multi-day visits. Primitive camping is permitted anywhere on park land, while 12 electrical campsites are available for RVs. Campfires are only allowed in designated fire rings.

The lake is open year-round, though paddling is most popular during the warmer months. Winter activities include ice fishing and cross-country skiing. The combination of no-wake restrictions, prairie vistas, and supporting amenities makes Epping Dam an appealing destination for recreational paddlers seeking a peaceful water experience.
