Silver Lake is a tiny 202-acres with average depth of just six feet and the Winnipesaukee River, the one and only outflow for 45,440-acre Lake Winnipesaukee runs straight through it with an entry from Lake Winnisquam and an exit south back into the Winnipesaukee River. So basically, Silver Lake is a 202-acre dammed water body that is home to many lake front homes and is part of the ten mile long Winnipesaukee River.

Today, May 3, 2023, the NH Marine Patrol issued a no wake order for motorboats on Silver Lake, in place until its water level recedes to 467.0 feet above sea level, It is currently at the high water level of 470 feet. Normal water level for Silver Lake which is controlled by the Lochmere Dam is at 468 feet.
