Silver Lake State Park Details

Curving along the northern shore of the 34-acre Silver Lake is this little sliver of paradise. With a 1,000-foot stretch of golden yellow beach and 80-acres of park and forest, this area is one of the more popular places for families and group gatherings especially on the weekends and in the summer. You can go swimming in the calm waters, although kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are also available for rent if you are eager to explore the other side of the lake. There are also multiple nature trails that loop around the park and through the forest, which is a great way to get a bit of exercise in between swimming and sunbathing.
