Stretching for four miles along the shore of Lake Michigan, Silver Lake State Park is a large park that offers plenty of recreational opportunities both on and off the water. The park boasts more than 2,000 acres of sand dunes, 450 of which are open to off-road vehicles, and people come from all over the world to scramble around the dunes on their ORVs. Visitors are welcome to swim, boat, and fish in both Lake Michigan and Silver Lake, and there are several day-use areas where visitors can park to explore the dunes by foot.
