About This Access Site
South Silver Lake in Fairmont, Martin County offers a public boat launch on the lake's west side, accessible via Stinson Boulevard. This 252-acre lake with a maximum depth of 22 feet is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. **Note that this is a limited facility best suited for smaller watercraft**—larger boats may find launching challenging.
The access site is part of Silver Lake State Park and includes parking and public restrooms (flush toilets). Nearby Silverwood Park on the north side of the lake, operated by Three Rivers Park District, offers canoe and kayak rentals if you don't have your own equipment. The calm, shallow waters make South Silver Lake an accessible option for paddlers of various skill levels, though you'll want to confirm the current launch conditions before arriving with a larger vessel.
