Located in McCleod County, Minnesota on Highway 7, Silver lake has a population of 800, as of July 2007, and shows a 5% increase since the 2000 census.
The town is made up of German, Polish,Czech, Norwegian, Irish, and French ancestry.
During the spring and summer months, there are many activities that range from hiking along the Luce Line Trail, relaxing by the Bruce Maresh Aquatic Center, enjoying some volleyball, basketball, or softball, or even throwing a ringer or two in the horseshoe pits. And as always, a great group of volunteers pull together and sponsor the “Music in the Park” on Thursday evenings which in turn leads us right into our annual “Pola-Czesky Days” celebration the first weekend of August.
There are also many activities that take place during the fall and winter months. Some of those events are the Sportsman’s Club Turtle Soup feed, a Free Will Thanksgiving Dinner for all, a Winter Festival that includes horse drawn rides, the Lake Associations’ Golf Tournament on Ice, the Lions Brunch, the ever growing St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Civic Associations’ Vegas Night, and the list goes on and on.
Hunting, fishing, and boating activities are available in the area.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
