June 21, 2018

Access to Silver Lake is now open to the public. The park, parking lot and boat landing area are open as of 6/21/2018 for normal use. Please note that Silver Lake Beach will be unguarded today (6/21/2018) due to inclement weather, and allow staff to clean restrooms and park facilities. Lifeguards will resume normal hours on Friday, 6/22/2018 from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. The weed harvester boat shall resume normal operations on 6/21/2018.

As everyone returns and resumes enjoyment of Silver Lake, we wish to remind everyone that the recent drowning accident occurred outside of the public beach swim area. We ask that for your safety, as well as others, please swim only within the roped swim area of Silver Lake when lifeguards are on site. The boat landing area is not to be used for swimming and diving. We want everyone to be able to enjoy Silver Lake, but we want everyone to return home safe as well.
