Silver Lake is a round lake in Highlands County, Florida. It covers about 22 acres (8.9 hectares) of water. This lake is located southwest of Avon Park, Florida, and you can find it at the western end of Bill Sachsenmeier Memorial Road.

What is Silver Lake Like?

Silver Lake is known for its circular shape. It is a private lake, meaning it is not open to everyone.

Accessing Silver Lake

You can only get to Silver Lake through a private park. This park is called Reflection on Silver Lake. It is a community for mobile homes and RVs. Because it is a private area, the public cannot visit this lake.

Features of the Lake

Silver Lake has a special dock just for fishing. However, there is no dock available for boats. It is also quite hard to reach the lake's edge. This is because tall grass grows all around the entire lake, making the shore difficult to access.
