About Silver Lake
This remote recreation site is great for the hunting and fishing enthusists who want that remote experience. The site is amidst a mixed spruce/pine forest but very small. Recommended for small, older vehicles or by quad due to the thick brush along the main road as you near the site.

Facilities
Getting there
Located southeast of Merritt access is off the Coldwater Road as you head south. Turn right onto the Patchett Road and continue on until the road turns into the Spius Creek Road. You must turn right just after crossing the bridge and then keep to the left. The road as it nears the site is very brushed in so vehicle traffic to the site is not recommended until the road is brushed out or you could quad in.
