Silver Lake 🐟

Silver Lake is a stunning alpine lake on Carson Pass Highway (SR 88). Situated along one of the historic immigrant trails to California across the Sierra Nevada used by many settlers and gold miners since the 1840s, soon residents of the central valley flocked to the mild climates of the mountains in the summer, often setting up tent camps that stood for months. Many of the lodges and camps at Silver Lake were established in the 1920s, while Plasse's dates back to 1853.

Several of the old resorts still operate today, offering modernized accommodations and countless amenities.
Anglers, hikers, photographers, artists, birdwatchers, and nature lovers enjoy exploring the lake and its surrounding countryside. A modern launch ramp makes boating easy.
