  This lake is gorgeous and the views are breathtaking. We went on Mother’s Day and it was amazing. Not too crowded and plenty of parking. Restrooms were fully stocked with toilet paper and the store was well stocked. My kids and I loved every minute of this day. Trash cans were available and we were able to grill. Highly recommend you come and spend the day here. We were flying our kites as well.

  Got out of LA for some peace and quiet of course FREASH AIR. I stayed there for a few nights and brought my 21 foot bass boat. The ramp and dock was GREAT👍 EASY to load and unload myself. The staff and rangers are very friendly and helpful 👍👍. I recommend this place to all my friends in LOS ANGELES and county.

  Great place to be on the water, in the water, or simply hiking or walking next to the water. There are great viewpoints along Pacific Crest Trail overlooking the lake. $10 fee. Also, check out the Nature Center, as they have a excellent video about the history of the lake.

  Silverwood Lake Recreation Area offers a peaceful, scenic escape into nature that feels just far enough from the city to breathe—but still close enough to keep things convenient. The landscape is beautiful: sweeping lake views, lush trees, and that crisp, high-desert air that hits different when you wake up in the morning. The campsites are nicely spaced, and the lake access is a definite highlight—perfect for fishing, kayaking, or just sitting back and taking in the serenity. Trails are well-kept, wildlife is present but not invasive, and the entire area feels like a little retreat where time slows down just enough to reset. That said, not everything was pure bliss. The folks across from my campsite decided to soundtrack the wilderness with loud, obnoxious music that ran late into the night. It killed the peaceful vibe a bit and was a jarring contrast to the natural stillness surrounding us. A reminder that sometimes it’s not the place—but the people—that affect the vibe. Aside from that hiccup, I had a genuinely delightful time. Silverwood Lake is a gem, especially for anyone looking to reconnect with nature—just maybe bring some earplugs, or hope your neighbors come with better taste in music and a volume knob. For this reason it is not worth $50USD. Maybe $20 for the slot. I prefer to hear nature not music blaring louder than most stereos on the market!
