Quite amazing.
The article has some pictures, and it also gives a link to the Lake's Facebook page, which has many more pictures.

Most springs in the Desert Southwest and elsewhere are there due to the movement of a fault which as the article states blocks a flow of water in an aquifer and hence brings the water to the surface.

From the patterns of vegetation, it’s clear that this “lake” has been around for some time.

Originally, Dierkes Lake was not a lake at all. It was a blind canyon that housed the apple orchards of John Dierkes. When a canal irrigation system was inserted in the area the orchards began to flood. Dierkes made the best of a bad situation and started charging a fee for kids to swim in his new lake. A dock, pulley, and concession stand were built to encourage visitors. The orchard is still under the lake and often times swimmers notice small apples that float to the surface.
