Silver Lake is managed to maximize the health of the lakes while providing recreational opportunities for members.  We especially encourage our younger members to enjoy this remarkable resource.  In order to maintain a healthy fishery while limiting pressure on the Lake, the following regulations apply:

1. Boat Fishing: All members may fish from the shoreline; only rack slot renters, lakefront dock/boat owners, and resident members may fish from their watercraft
2. Fish: All bass, bream, bluegill, and shell crackers are catch-and-release.
3. Racks: All watercraft stored on Silver Lake property must be placed gunwale facing down and secured/locked in an assigned rented rack space; they may not be wider and must fit the length without alterations.
4. Watercrafts: Watercraft must be quiet, passive, safe, and do not disturb others; gasoline motors are prohibited.
5. Photos: Posting photos of fish on any social media network — including Fishbrain, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter — is prohibited.
6. Safety: Watercraft must meet Coast Guard regulation, including an approved personal flotation device for each occupant.

No docks are permitted on our private property without a permit. Permission must be obtained from Silver Lake Civic Association before constructing any new dock, and before modifying the size or design of an existing dock.

1. Annual Permit: Docks require active dues-paying membership as well maintained in sound repair, of appropriate size and quality.
2. Damage: Broken, unsightly, or free-floating docks must be repaired and/or removed by the owner within 30 days of notice.
