SLAM follows local and state issues that may affect Silver Lake and works with partners to help protect the lake and its watershed.
LOOKING AT THE WHOLE WATERSHED
Protecting Silver Lake for the long term
Silver Lake is connected to the land and water around it. What happens throughout the watershed—from runoff and development to roads, septic systems, streams, and shorelines—can affect the health of the lake.
The Watershed Management Plan uses scientific analysis to identify priorities and practical actions for protecting Silver Lake over the long term. Visit the project page for information, meeting announcements, and updates.

Please don’t feed the birds
Help care for Silver Lake by letting ducks and geese find their own natural food. Feeding waterfowl can encourage them to congregate around swimming areas and can contribute to water-quality and swimmer’s-itch concerns.
Give the loons plenty of space
When boating, watch for the loon nesting buoy at the head of the lake and give the loons plenty of space.
