    It's always fun to stop by Silver Lake. Silver Lake is a quite wet place commonly with a large amount of rain; June is the month that gets the most rain, and February is the month with the least moisture. Summer brings highs in the 70's to Silver Lake with nighttime lows in the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 20's while the cold winter nights at Silver Lake are in the 10's. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Turner Trail, and the best way to spend  
   a winter day is on the slopes of close by Bousquet.
This lake is so wonderful. Brattle Brook flows through this region; don't forget to take a look at Rice School while you're here. What a site this is for outdoors people. Silver Lake is right by the Brickhouse Mountain Trail, and dry warm beds await you at Crowne Plaza Hotel Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Silver Lake in fact is in the middle of a charming outdoors paradise. Stay the night at Bonnie Brae Cabins
 
               and Campsites, and you don’t have to go far from Silver Lake to see the water at Bel Air Dam.
This lake is so wonderful. Catamount is a very popular ski area close by; there are plenty of folks from Pittsfield here. You're almost certainly addicted to lakes, Goodrich Pond is one of those nearby, and hiking along the Taconic Skyline Trail is good fun. If you need a site to stay The Yankee Suites Extended Stay is a great choice, and whitewater paddling is magnificent on Konkapot Brook.
Pontoosuc School is a great site to spend some time at. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Silver Lake has to offer, you can camp at Hidden Valley Campgrounds. Nearby lakes? Sure, West Branch Housatonic River Reservoir is next to Silver Lake; a round of golf at nearby Pontoosuc Lake Country Club is a good way to kill some time. Paddling on Green River is so much fun, and if the weather is lovely, you obtain a pleasant view of Court Hill from Silver Lake.
This lake is so wonderful.

Walker Island Camping
19 miles away
The staff at Walker Island was very friendly. There were many faucets located near campsites, and an outhouse, and an outlet in some sites. Our sites were located by the brook which on the other side is a busy road that large trucks occasionally rumble by. The pool was 5ft deep, compared to the 'small beach' which is literally a pile of sand plopped by the brook. No swimming in this beach. The arrow pointing to the spring is really a spring hung on a tree. Not so funny when your vacation hopes were to swim in some natural waters. Hiking may be difficult to find ask for directions....
