kayaking silverwood lake
  

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.
