Boating
9 km long Silver Lake is large enough to accommodate all types of
boats - motorboats, sailboats, paddleboats and canoes. Three boat
ramps area available. A meandering creek running through the Provincial
Park makes for a pleasant canoe trip during the spring and early summer
when the water level is higher or paddle on Silver Lake itself. A
canoe, paddleboat and kayak area all available for use. Canoe, motorboat,
rowboat, and kayak rentals are available at the park as well..
Swimming
There is easy access to the water from the cottage. The lake floor
in front of the cottage is solid and easy to traverse. The water
depth is very shallow for 30 meters and then drops off which is
perfect for children. At the provincial park, there is a wide crescent
of sandy beach is Silver Lake's main attraction. A smaller sandy
beach is near the picnic shelter.
Fishing
Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, Yellow Perch, and sunfish
provide ideal fishing for all ages and abilities.
Wildlife

rabbits and chipmunks live here. Harmless snakes, painted turtles,
toads, bullfrogs and leopard frogs inhabit the wetland. Overhead,
