Silver Lake State Park

A small desert of white sand dunes separates the immense Lake Michigan from its smaller counterpart, Silver Lake. Whether you're looking to relax on the warm white sands at the water's edge, float atop the calm water, or fly through the air on your offroad vehicle, there is something for everyone at Silver Lake. A lesser-known recreation hotspot, Silver Lake is the perfect alternative to the choppier waters of Lake Michigan. Next door to some of the best camping in the state, this lake is an essential stop for anyone passing through the region. Walk atop the ridges of the tall sand dunes and wind down by the lakeside to finish off your day. These are just a few of the draws to this serene corner of Michigan.
