Silver Cliff Beach

Silver Cliff Beach is a public lake beach in Minnesota, about 3 miles from the town of Silver Creek. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the Two Harbors weather station, about 4 miles away, put July and August highs around 75°F with lows in the mid-50s. June and September both reach about 67°F, cooling to the mid-to-upper 40s at night. Expect rain on 11 to 13 days a month through the warm season. May tops out near 58°F and October near 54°F, so shoulder-season visits call for layers. Winter is cold, with January highs around 24°F and lows near 7°F. Snow falls on about 6 to 8 days a month from December through February. Two climbing areas sit within about 3 miles: Silver Creek Tunnel Rock and Sawmill Creek Dome. A little farther, the Gitchi-Gami State Trail is roughly 8 miles away, and Gooseberry Falls State Park Campground is close by for an overnight stay.
