Silver Lake is a 346-acre (1.40 km2)[1] water body located inCheshire County in southwesternNew Hampshire, United States, in the towns ofHarrisville andNelson. Water from Silver Lake flows via Minnewawa Brook andThe Branch to theAshuelot River, atributary of theConnecticut River.

TheSilver Lake District, located along the southern portion of the lake, is a historic district listed in theNational Register of Historic Places.

The lake is classified as a coldwater fishery, with observed species includingrainbow trout,lake trout,smallmouth andlargemouth bass, andhorned pout.[1] Many small islands on the south and west side of the lake are NH Loon Preserve registered habitats.

In 2018, the largest remaining undeveloped parcel on Silver Lake was permanently protected via aconservation easement with the Harris Center for Conservation Education. The center worked closely with the Silver Lake Land Trust and the Seaver Silver Lake Farm Trust for more than a year on the project. The easement includes 50 acres (20 ha) of land and nearly 800 feet (240 m) of shoreline on the southern end of the lake in Harrisville, and it adds to a block of more than 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) of contiguous conservation land in the towns of Nelson,Roxbury, Harrisville, andMarlborough. With the completion of the project, 80% of the Silver Lake watershed, including 2.9 miles (4.7 km) of shoreline,[2] are protected.
