The Legend of the Silver Lake Sea Serpent
On the moonlit night of July 13, 1855, four men and two boys were fishing in a boat on Silver Lake. As they began to row the boat in, each passenger watched as a nearby floating log began to move, dipping in and out of the water. Then without notice, a horrid beast leapt from the water, showing itself in all its glory before splashing back into the murky water and disappearing. That evening, legend of the Silver Lake Sea Serpent was born.
