 Welcome
to Silver Lake Park
If you are looking for an outdoor recreation experience
that gives you the best Whatcom County has to offer, then
visit Silver Lake Park. Just 40 minutes
east of Bellingham on the scenic Mount Baker Highway and right on the edge
of the Mt. Baker National Forest/Recreation Area, the park is a perfect destination
regardless of the season.
Amenities
 Considered
by many to be one of the Northwest’s premier camping
parks, almost every form of recreation one associates with
the outdoors is available at Silver Lake Park. The main attraction
of the park is the lake itself and the myriad of water-related
activities it provides. Nestled in a scenic mountain valley,
this 180-acre lake has something for everyone. For those
who like to fish there are open stretches of water for trolling,
quiet bays and points with drop-offs for bank fishing, and
an abundance of aquatic insects and habitat to challenge
the fly fisher. You can launch your own watercraft at the
public launch or rent rowboats, canoes or pedal boats from
the park. Day use areas with tables and BBQ’s overlooking
the swimming beach are the perfect setting for family picnics.
Silver Lake Park camping areas accommodate tents, trailers,
and RVs. There are 92 individual campsites spread over the
411-acre park, and a separate Group Camp with RV hookups
for up to 30 units. There is also a Horse Camp with 28 serviced
campsites, two kitchen shelters, and stables with tie stalls
for park users’ horses, with access to many miles of
trails.
Cabins and Daylodge
If you’re not into “roughing it” you can
stay in one of the six rustic cabins that overlook the lake
and are just the place to get away to anytime of the year.
The Overnight Lodge is a larger, accessible rental facility.
With beautiful lake views and easy water access it‘s
ideal for small groups, business retreats or family vacations.
The Day Lodge is a beautiful setting for weddings, reunions,
business seminars or just gathering all your friends together
for a party.
And if all this isn’t enough, check out the Gerdrum
Historical House and Black Mountain Forestry Center for some
insight into early Whatcom County. Launch your hang-glider
from the top of Black Mountain and descend 4,000 ft. to the
landing area in the park. Watch beavers at work on their
dams in Maple Creek, or maybe spot an osprey catching a trout.
Whether you’re looking for a honeymoon getaway, planning
a family reunion or just looking for some outdoor fun and
a memorable camping experience, take a trip to Silver Lake
Park. You’ll be back again and again.
Early reservations for all these facilities are recommended.
