Introduction
Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area welcomes campers with views of pristine Silverwood Lake’s blue waters surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks. Anciently, the area was dotted with a connecting waterway of rivers and streams. Modern-day Silverwood Lake was created by the Cedar Springs Dam and is now one of the most popular water recreation areas in California.
Guests are welcome to bring their own watercraft to the lake, but should be aware that each boat is subject to a free inspection for standing water and quagga mussels before being allowed to launch. The northern section of the lake is designated as a water ski area, while the southern portion of the lake offers an environment for smaller, slower boats, swimming, and fishing.
Hike around the lake and through the surrounding foothills using the park’s trail system. About 13 miles of these trails are paved and popular with bicyclists. Hikers can use park trails to connect with the 2,650-mile long Pacific Crest Trail that stretches from Mexico to Canada.
During the winter months, weekend visitors can snag a spot on the park’s bald eagle barge tours and explore native bald eagle habitats. Other water birds and birds of prey can also be observed as well as black bears, bobcats, and golden beavers.
RV campers check in at the New Mesa Campground, which features 136 sites. Each site includes a picnic table, BBQ grill, fire ring, and parking for three vehicles. Enjoy easy access to restrooms and showers.
