Confirmed from Silver Lake County Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-friendly park with a beach, disc golf course and MTB trails, as well as BBQs and playgrounds.
What runners say about Silver Lake County Park
“Kudos to those who brought about around 10 miles of trails, and are keeping them well maintained!”
“The Lake was beautiful with the sun dancing off of the water.”
Good place for a walk or a bike ride. In the morning you can see deer. Morning walks are very scenic. I spend a few hours at this part everyday
Great progression MTB trails for kids, with a skills area, and a double track spine trail for getting around from trail to trail or shortcuts back to parking areas. The greens here are super easy and blues are easier than many greensbin my home area, but harder than the greens here.
Great Mountain biking trails along with Disc golf and a beach. Of note it is one of the best nighttime MTB trail systems .
I went to Silver Lake County Park for some mountain biking, and found the trails were well laid out, and in good shape. Kudos to those who brought about around 10 miles of trails, and are keeping them well maintained!
