Lake Facts:
Silver Lake is located along Hwy. 7 east of the town of Sharbot Lake Ontario in Frontenac County
co-ordinates: Lat. 44° 49′ 39″ Long. 76° 35′ 58″
while the lake reaches maximum depths of 80′, the average depth is 34′
the perimeter of the lake is 9.1 km (5.7 miles)
the surface area is 246 hectares (608 acres)
the lake is deep enough to support a cold water fishery. Lake trout have been regularly stocked and this has created a year round put and take fishery.
the lake has shallow weedy areas that support a warm water fishery including bass, pike and panfish. The inshore areas of the lake have stretches of sand as well as rock rubble. The areas where these two types of structure meet (transition zones) will often hold smallmouth bass
there are two public boat launches. One is inside the park’s boundary and the other is located just west of the park off of Hwy. 7 at a day use park
Silver Lake sits within Fisheries Management Zone 18
