FACTS ABOUT THE ABOVE PHOTO
Silver Lake, CA
Silver Lake has been a popular destination on Carson Pass for decades. Residents of the central valley flocked to the mild climates of the mountains in the summer, often setting up tent camps that stood for months.
Many of the lodges and camps at Silver Lake were established in the 1920s, while Plasse’s dates back to 1853.
Silver Lake Stockton Family Camp is located at Silver Lake on Highway 88 behind Plasse’s Resort just a few miles above Bear River Reservoir and below Kirkwood Resort at Carson Pass in Amador County. Founded in 1921, Silver Lake Stockton Family Camp has hosted campers escaping the heat and bustle of the city of Stockton for a fresher, more peaceful setting.
