Spencer Township spreads across nearly 24,000 acres of farmland, woods, and water in northeast Kent County. Lincoln Lake's boating site is less than a mile away; Cooper Creek and Bass Lake anchor different corners of the landscape. White Pine Park has hiking trails, and Spencer Forest opens up for cross-country skiing and horseback riding when the season shifts. The nearest grocery is a couple of miles down the road, and restaurants cluster in the same direction—this is a place where you plan errands rather than stumble into them.
