Silverwood Lake is an extremely popular
weekend getaway. There are a few drawbacks
to this pretty paddling retreat: the long
entrance line; the long wait to launch; the
powerboat and jet ski traffic on the lake,
the unpredictable winds and the crowded
beach area during the summer months.
If at all possible during the summer, paddle
this lake on a weekday to avoid the crowds,
the watercraft congestion and the long lines
because you really don’t want to miss out on
paddling this scenic mountain lake. That
leaves the last obstacle, the fierce erratic
winds that frequently occur. Every time I
have paddled here, I have encountered sudden
nasty winds that turned a pleasant paddle
into a marathon workout.
The 5mph zones in all the coves provide the
best fishing opportunities, and a safe haven
away from the fast-moving speed boats and
jet skis. Fishing is allowed only during the
posted park operating hours and is permitted
off the dock.
Silverwood Lake is a haven for paddling
enthusiasts. Whether you prefer canoeing or
kayaking, you’ll enjoy the fresh aroma of
pine and the pristine water of Silverwood
Lake, where hungry fish are plentiful and
the views are magnificent.
With exceptional kayak fishing,
awe-inspiring scenery, and ideal
photographic opportunities,
Silverwood Lake has something to satisfy
everyone. It can provide some of the finest
boat-in camping experiences
 you will ever
encounter in Southern California. It’s a
perfect choice for your next paddling
excursion.
