Silvis Lake Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
The Silvis Lake trail is 3.0 miles long. It begins at Beaver Falls (at Gate) and ends at Upper Silvis Lake (at Dam). From here the trail joins the Deer Mountain National recreation trail and continues for approximately 10 more miles. The trail was rerouted in the summer of 2011 and offers a great way to access the Deer Mountain National Recreation trail. For more information see the Deer Mt. National Recreation trail.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
