Summary

[edit]
Description

Silver Lake is an unincorporated community in western Lake County, Oregon, United States, located on Oregon Route 31. Facilities include a gas station and a small store a post office and a public school, North Lake School, serving grades K-12.

The community of Silver Lake is located in the high desert of Central Oregon. The town is named for a lake of the same name that is 6 miles (10 km) east of town. On December 9, 1875, the post office was established. The post office location has moved at least twice, depending on where the house of the postmaster was at the time.

Sparsely populated, but seeing an increase as Bend grows, the area is ideal for those interested in the outdoors; hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, skiing, and bird watching are favorite activities of local residents. Wildlife is abundant in the area, such as mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, coyotes, badgers, eagles, and hawks.
