Spring Arbor is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Jackson County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

Potawatomi Native Americans resided in present-day Spring Arbor in three known aboriginal villages until their removal to reservations near Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Organized by Territorial Council in 1832, Spring Arbor Township has continued to exist with its present boundaries since 1837.

During the mid-19th century, a Village of Spring Arbour had been planned along what is now the intersection of Cross and Hammond roads in the southwest portion of the township.

Remnants of this plot are clearly visible on an aerial view of the area: a portion of Matthews Road continues along a street directed at the intersections of Cross and Hammond.

Lime Lake County Park is located on 2 acres (0.81 ha) in Spring Arbor including a boat launch, a swimming area, playground equipment, and the Falling Waters Trail.

Divers frequent this lake to view bizarre underwater mountains, pillars, and spires left behind from concrete production.

CMS Energy employs a large number of Spring Arbor residents, but is located in Jackson.
