Silver Lake is a reservoir in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.[1]

It is located within Amador County. It is about 20 mi (32 km) south of South Lake Tahoe and about 8 miles (13 km) west of Carson Pass.[2] The lake surface is 525 acres (212 ha) at full capacity and is at an elevation of 7,200 feet (2,200 m).[3] It is surrounded by Eldorado National Forest and is part of the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) and their Hydroelectric Project 184 system.[4] Snow and ice are common in this area during winter seasons.

It used to be reachable between 1848 and 1863 by taking Old Emigrant Road, now you can access it off of California Highway 88 or known locally as the "Carson Pass Highway".[5]

In the center of the lake is Treasure Island which is only accessible by boat or swimming.

Silver Lake West Recreation Area/Campground

Silver lake is home to Silver Lake West Campground[6]

This is a first-come-first-served campground with 42 campsites. The campground is open from May until October, weather permitting. All campsites contain one to two vehicle parking, fire rings with grill, bear-resistant food storage lockers, and picnic tables. Some can accommodate small RVs and motor homes.[7] There is no cell coverage at this campground.

Swimming, fishing and recreational boating are available at the lake. There is a small fee to launch boats at the improved ramp.[8] Some watercraft are usually available for rent at the Kit Carson Lodge located at the North end of the lake.[9] The lodge also offers many other individual or group activities such as gold rush tours and horseback riding.
