3. Silverwood Lake

Serving as a major water source to areas of the Mojave Desert, Silverwood Lake is a large reservoir in San Bernardino that was created in 1971.

With breath-taking scenery, this gorgeous lake is best known for its camping. While many visitors prefer to stay the weekend, there are many who go out simply for a day on the water.

Silverwood is known to be a boater’s destination. Because it is so popular, there is a limit on how many boats can be launched per day. That means you know it’s a great spot!

So, if you’re a boating enthusiast, get hauling your toys out to this beautiful destination!
