Silver Lake State Water Access Site

Silver Lake State Park offers a well-developed public boat launch in Princeton, featuring a concrete ramp and dock suitable for both motorized and non-motorized watercraft. The 71-acre lake has a maximum depth of 47 feet, making it appropriate for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. The access site includes amenities such as a parking lot and flush toilet facilities.

As a private lake managed by the Silver Lake Homes Association, boaters should be aware that a current boat sticker is required to launch. These stickers are available free of charge at the clubhouse. The concrete ramp is located to the right of the boat dock, and keyed gate access is available for launching your craft.

The site also offers camping accommodations with improved facilities including electric hookups, running water, and showers—making it a convenient option for multi-day paddling trips. Nearby paddlers should note that Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is located approximately 50 miles northwest, offering additional recreational opportunities in the region.
