  • Things To Do
    There are plenty of activities to keep you busy. Rent a jet ski, wave runner or ski boat and explore Silver Lake the wild way! Families can rent paddleboats, pontoons, canoes and kayaks or go on a exciting dune ride. Bring your rod and reel for some great fishing---Northern Pike, Large and Smallmouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Black Crappie, Bluegill and Perch to name a few. Bike, hike or walk the 22-mile Hart-Montague Trail through charming towns, woods, orchards and scenic overlooks, don't forget to refuel along the way with an ice cream cone. Climb to the top of the 1870's Little Sable Point Lighthouse. And visit Hart Historic District with numerous old-time attractions and historical buildings.
