Known as Silver Lake to Native Americans in the 1700s, it's now a small lake town with approximately 800 year-round residents. But it once entertained over 10,000 visitors per day. Collectively, the lake has produced 7 professional water skiers, dozens of water ski tournament champions, and 6 award-winning wakeboarders. It served as a training camp during World War II. In its heyday it was home to 5 public beaches, one of which housed 21 amusement rides. Throughout history, 8 different show boats toured the lake. And the water here is almost as clear as faucet water.
