Silver Lake is a small lake entirely contained within the town of Hollis, New Hampshire. Formerly surrounded by summer vacation cottages, most of these buildings have now been converted for use as year-round homes. Silver Lake State Park occupies the northern end of the lakeshore.
Silver Lake is located on NH Route 122, north of the town's traffic light.
The lake has been tested for acceptable bacteria levels and as of 2006, the State of New Hampshire has deemed the lake acceptable for swimming.
The lake has intake and output springs that provide it with fresh water.
