Has anybody been here in a while? Still crowded? Still have to make a resi or get there really early? Whats the story morning glories?

I believe....YES...reservations are needed!  You CAN wait in line also if ya'd like but you will see alot of people drive by to the front of the line....guess what...they have reservations!  Been there,done that!   

They call that place "Snake Lake" for a reason.  Don't sleep on the ground unless you are open to "company".

Silverwood is the local lake for us... we use it a lot during the week.

there is a speed limit of 35mph.

when we first got the new (to us) boat, we went and made some high speed passes... the Rangers chased us down and we got the speed limit speech... no ticket though.

I haven't been on a weekend in probably 15+ years... we used to get there at 5am and hope you could get in! I think they only let 125 boats on the lake. If you didn't get in that first 125, you had to wait for someone to leave... one out, one in.

Heres the link for reservations:

BTW, the wind usually starts blowing round 3pm. Sometimes a little, sometimes alot.

6am during the summer.

Well, the lake is awesome.... So long as you go durning the week.  I have been twice since the last post, once on a monday and the other on a tuesday.  I have not been on the weekend but judging by the size of the lake, 125 boats on that lake would be insane! 
Ran the boat with no baffles in and didn't get any issues from the Rangers at all. Even pulling it out of the water, when I had to run the engine to get the water out, I thought for sure that I would get a talking to but nobody came up.   I did make a few runs where I was screaming, but nobody paid it any mind.  I didn't even see a ranger on the water both days, and I didn't leave until 4pm.   

I would drink the water from silverwood . And its cold as shit too for those hot days .

last time i was there no wind great time be there on the 4 th

what is the water like at silverwood, i havent been there in a couple years but the last time i was there it was pretty bad. 

i just meant the water was pretty dirty, it seemed like there was a lot of crap floating in the water, but i think i am going to head out there and try it pretty soon. thanks 

Has the season ended so you can get in yet? Or still need reservations. Thinking about going tomorrow - but getting there at 4am ain't gonna cut it....

No reservation needed went last week got there at 7:30 am good times
