Silver Lake is approximately 225 acres in size and is spring fed and drains into the Oconomowoc River and Battle Creek. Its waters are considered among the most beautiful of the lakes in this area. The beach, that is the centerpiece of the common areas owned by the association of condominium unit owners, has often been referred to as the Million Dollar Beach because of its use as a prime recreational and resort area during the early 1900s through the 1960s. The beach was so popular during this time period that it had its own streetcar stop when the Interurban

rolled through from Milwaukee and Chicago. The beach itself, which contains a natural sand base, involved various operations including a toboggan slide, water wheel, boating and bathing. During its heyday, the Silver Lake Beach enjoyed a colorful history as part of the Big Band Era with popular groups from Chicago and the Midwest performing weekly to the visitors and local residents attending this popular dance spot. Even a young man named Danny Kaye found his humble beginnings in the entertainment industry in the dance hall, sweeping the floors for room and board during the day and honing his talents as an actor and singer to the crowds at night. The colorful history of Silver Lake will always be chronicled as a highpoint, cherished in the warm memories of those residents and visitors who came to this area for recreation and adventure. While the memories of the resort may fade with the passage of time, the initial attraction of the lake and surrounding environs remains. The development of Vespera at Porticello will begin a new era of the mystic of the Silver Lake Beach. The new Million Dollar

Beach will serve as the private bathing and sunning area for the residents of the Vespera Condominium Development. Although it will not contain such attractions as the water wheel and toboggan slide, it will provide a very private beach enjoyed only by a few. Boat slips are available separately. The Million Dollar Beach may not be as notorious as its historical counter-part in the thirties, but the beach will be every bit as special and unique which remains the reason for its timeless attraction.
