Please note:
Like many Northern Michigan lakes, Silver Lake water levels fluctuate, and shallow water is common. The water near our dock can be shallow, and some experience navigating shallow waters is recommended. Dock use for boat tie-up is only available when water levels allow.
To make boating easy, we partner with a trusted company that provides rentals, with daily boat delivery and pickup at the nearby public launch (3 minutes away). This is an excellent choice even for multi-day rentals—they’ll handle launching and retrieving the boat each day so you can relax and enjoy the lake. We also have plenty of parking space in our driveway, should you choose to bring a bigger boat and launch from the public boat launch.
Swimming is best enjoyed from a boat or by kayaking to nearby islands. The shoreline at the home is natural and not ideal for swimming.
Provided watercraft:
• 3 single kayaks
• 1 tandem kayak
• 1 canoe
• Life jackets
All water activities are at your own risk.
Traveling with little ones is easy when we provide these items:
• Pack ’n Play
• High chair
• Kids’ plates & utensils
• Toys & children’s books
