About
Silent Lake offers year-round camping and day use. The park has two campgrounds, Granite Ridge and Pincer Bay, with electrical and non-electrical campsites. For a quieter experience, there are three loops of walk-in campsites. In winter, Granite Ridge offers two loops of plowed electrical sites, and both campgrounds offer non-electrical, walk-in sites.
Silent Lake also offers four-season roofed accommodations. The Six Point Camp Cabins are located away from the main campground with easy access to the lake and are close to a four-season comfort station. Yurts are found in both campgrounds with electrical and non-electrical options.
For day use, enjoy any of the three hiking trails, varying in length and difficulty. There is also mountain biking, fishing, and paddling. Visitors can enjoy swimming at either of the two beaches. The largest beach is in the day use area which includes a large picnic area. The other is the Camper’s Beach, nestled down at the bottom of the Pincer Bay campground. During the winter months, experience another side of Silent Lake with over 34km of groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.
