I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.
Fish recorded in this water
The species record attached to Spring Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.
An easy starting plan
For a first trip to Spring Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
