Common areas are lots that the Upper Silver Lake Improvement Association owns. Many of these lots offer access to association members who do not have a property that fronts the lake. We are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of these lots, and a portion of USLIA dues go toward this maintenance.
On the map, Common Areas are highlighted in yellow, and the red dots indicate where a USLIA-owned swim raft is located. These rafts are installed in the spring and uninstalled in the fall in coordination with the USLIA board.
If you see something that needs attention on a Common Area, please email uppersilverlakemichigan@gmail.com and let us know.
