Silver Lake is a natural lake in South Dakota, in the United States.[1]

Silver Lake received its name on account of the silvery appearance of its surface.[2]

Silver Lake has 431 surface acres. The primary fishing is for Northern Pike, Silver Carp, and Yellow Bullhead. There is a boat ramp on the east side of the lake; the parking and picnic area on the west side of the lake was closed in 2018.
