Watch the day slowly fade away over the soaring
mountains, knowing that new paddling adventures
await you each morning at this remarkable paddling
paradise. Traveling on the Carson Pass Highway,
you’ll encounter some of the most amazing scenery
imaginable, as you drive through the Eldorado and
Humboldt Toiyabe National Forests.
Silver
Lake is located in one of the most visually
dramatic areas in the entire state of
California. Paddling enthusiasts can plan on
a nonstop adventure at this inviting
getaway. During the early morning hours, as
the sun rises over the mountains, perfect
reflections of the surrounding terrain are
cast onto the lake’s glassy water surface.
The lake’s mirror-like waters reflect the
colors of the sky above, attracting
photographers to its picturesque shores.
With access to the Mokelumne Wilderness and
all the surrounding national forest lands,
you’ll discover an abundance of photographic
opportunities of exquisite landscapes with
astonishing vistas. You will witness
panoramas of ragged volcanic skylines, lush
green meadows, and dazzling timber-covered
mountain sides as you glide along the lake’s
crystal clear, blue waters.
This popular destination has a little of
everything, from calm waters to perfect
campsite settings to breathtaking scenery.
Whether your idea of camping is sleeping
under the stars, or snuggled in your
motorhome,
Silver Lake is the ideal retreat to spend a
few nights or a week relaxing in nature. It
is truly a paddling paradise. The enjoyment
doesn’t stop when you’re done paddling this
pristine alpine lake. After a pleasant
paddle, you can hike around Silver Lake’s
six mile perimeter. The only diversion from
the lake’s shore is along the east side,
where the trail turns inland for a short
distance.
Whatever suits your fancy,
 you’ll find
adventure, astounding beauty, and escape
from the everyday grind at this peaceful
haven. It is a must-see paddling retreat for
those who love incredible views and
landscape photography opportunities.
