Situated in the scenic Skagit Valley, Silver Lake Provincial Park is a small, largely undeveloped lakefront area. Visitors can enjoy fishing, picnicking and boating (10hp motor limit) against a spectacular mountain backdrop or take pleasure in a rustic camping experience.
Bears are very active in this park. Please read the bear safety information.
These parasites live in tall grass and low shrubs, and seek out warm-blooded hosts. As potential carriers of disease, they should be avoided.
