Neighborhood Description First developed in 1960-61, this quiet, unassuming inland community has grown steadily about a central golf course and some fifty lakes and ponds to become one of the area's most favored choices for a retirement or vacation home. Only six miles from Southport and a 20 minute drive from Wilmington, Boiling Spring Lakes offers commuting convenience and "Carolina country" living; quiet, serene and friendly, with well-wooded lots and plenty of elbow room. Legend has it that long ago, local natives enroute to their coastal fishing grounds habitually camped by a mysteriously bubbling spring in the piney-woods. Later folklore endowed this "Boiling" Spring with mystical properties; for it was said that any who drank from its refreshing waters would one day return. Today this original Boiling Spring can still be found on the west side of town, just off Tuscarora Drive, not as accessible perhaps as in that earlier day, but bubbling still. Prime community attractions are the Fox Squirrel County Club with its challenging 18-hole golf course, and the naturally occurring spring-fed lakes which offer both boating and fishing pleasures. Small craft of all sorts are a familiar sight along 150-acre Big Lake, which boasts a public boat ramp and covered picnic area. Nearby Spring Lake may be the town's most inviting swimming hole, featuring a covered picnic pavilion and during the summer season, multitudes of lakeside enthusiasts, inner tubes, and picnic lunches. Sandy-bottomed, ever clear Frink Lake is another popular swimming spot. While still sparsely populated and seductively modest, Boiling Spring Lakes is geographically the largest municipality in Brunswick County. Residential development continues at a steady pace and all municipal services are available, including fire station, police department, medical clinic, rescue service, several churches and even a garden club.
