Silver Lake, located in Sublette, Wyoming, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1953 by designer Floyd Bishop. The dam, standing at a height of 22 feet and a structural height of 32 feet, serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 2970 acre-feet and a surface area of 180 acres. The reservoir is fed by Silver Creek and has a drainage area of 7.9 square miles.

Despite its age, Silver Lake has a high hazard potential and a poor condition assessment, last inspected in July 2019. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 40 feet and slide (sluice gate) outlet gates. The risk assessment for Silver Lake is moderate, with a risk management plan in place to address potential safety concerns. The dam is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and undergoes regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its integrity and safety for the surrounding community and downstream areas.
