Silver Lake, which is 30 acres (120,000 m2), and the surrounding wetlands are privately owned. A former 1920s era race track surrounds the lake and has been turned into a nature sanctuary. The lake has mostly warm-water fish such as blue gill, and bass with abundance of birds, turtles, frogs, etc. Several lots along one-third of the lake have deeded access to the lake. There is also a small neighborhood beach maintained by the area's residents.[citation needed]
