Silent Lake Provincial Park

The hiking trails are quite long if you want to take a full tour. It's quite beautiful. My camping ground was close to some kind of processing facility that makes constant noise. It was a bit annoying, but other than that everything was fine. The staff are friendly and helpful. No type of motor boats are allowed.

Silent Lake is a stunning province park. They have a fantastic park store located very close to the entrance. They have canoe rentals available. Weather depending, call ahead. The store itself is stocked with awesome park merchandise. All the staff we encounter with all extremely helpful and very friendly. We had a walk in site for 3 nights. The site was lovely and exactly when we wanted. The park is very well organized and it's so easy to find your way around. Canoeing the lake was a blast. We explored into the smaller parts of the lake and managed to catch a few small fish. All and all a beautiful park and a fantastic experience.

Camped at silent lake for the first time in late July 2024. I'd recommend 3 days here for campers as there are only 3 hiking trails - all of which were great, although sometimes difficult to find the trail. Enjoyed the 15km hike around the lake, but was a bit buggy. Beaches are not dog friendly, but there are plenty of areas to bring dogs into the water (we normally went down by the boat launch as my dog likes to just get his paws in the water and not fully swim). 3 days was a perfect amount of time for us to see everything, hike everything, and rent a canoe to paddle around the stunning lake.

Very good camping options, clean washrooms and even hot water showers! Camping can't get any better! The lake is nice and yes, if you're wondering, it is really silent 😅 The park office staff are helpful and friendly. The park was not super busy even during a long weekend. There are several different camping and day use areas to choose from. Very flexible and well maintained.

We completed the 16 km trail around the lake and it was amazing! Absolutely a more challenging trail, there are portions of crossing small waterways, lots of uphill, as well as downhill, and definitely recommended to give yourself at least six hours! We finished the trail in just over four hours, and definitely recommend bringing snacks, and wearing proper footwear!
