We really love spending time at Silver Lake and always have! We grew up there (whoever cut down the tire swing… we are all mad, but you've probably saved us all a great deal of health issues lololl) definitely would NOT SWIM in Silver Lake. The park could be better taken care of, but you cant expect too much from humans anymore. We always make sure to take out more trash than we brought in! Overall scenic views great for pictures, LOTS of wildlife in the area in all forms. Hiking trails. Playground area. Skipping rocks and fishing! Silver Lake is the place to hang out! And the best part? Its free!

The kids just love the playground and the dog likes sniffing around when I'm trying to walk him. They only have porta potties but one of them is handicapped accessible. Plenty of covered pavilions and picnic tables with barbecue grills. The walking trail is concrete which is nice because it's in a low lying wet area.

Beautiful place, if people could stop littering it would be even MORE Beautiful! I'm a photographer, and a lot of my pictures come from Silver Lake of the Herons, ospreys, Cormorants, and all that, but it seems like every picture i take I have to edit out trash! If people could start taking their fishing stuff back to their cars with them and their own trash, it'd be a lot better place! Not to mention waiting a minute for the wildlife to get out of your way besides beeping at them and trying to mow them down with your cars!! Have some respect. If anything, the place should belong to the animals. You're the visitor there not them, stop acting like they're in your way!!

Rocky area by Bridge is full of snakes, keep your kids away from there!
