Common Areas

Common areas are lots that the Upper Silver Lake Improvement Association owns.  Many of these lots offer access to association members that do not have a property that fronts the lake.  We are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of these lots, and a portion of property owner dues goes towards maintaining these pieces of property around the lake.  

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 deinstalled in the fall by Penny Marine Services in coordination with the USLIA board.

We need your help.  While we collect dues and the association pays for a great deal of work around the lake, we still need volunteers to help each year clean up the common areas near them.  If you use a common area, please consider helping us with clean-up projects.
