Silverwood Lake was formed by the 249-foot Cedar Springs Dam.  At 3,350 feet, it is the highest reservoir in the State Water Project.  The park features hiking trails, swimming beaches and designated areas for boating, water-skiing and fishing.  The lake has trout, large mouth bass, catfish and bluegill.  There is a marina with a launching ramp, boat and equipment rentals, and a store.  The park has picnic areas, including three that can only be reached by boat.  The lake attracts waterfowl, raptors and songbirds.  Canada Geese and an occasional bald eagle can be seen in the area.
