Welcome to
Silver Lake Preserve

—nearly 2,000 acres of pristine Southwest Florida wilderness where the land feels unchanged and the hunting is as good as it gets. Owned and operated by Lykes Bros. Inc., this is where the Lykes family has hunted for generations. Now, we invite you to experience it for yourself.

Old Florida. Unforgettable Hunts.

Old Florida. Unforgettable Hunts.

Here, ancient oaks shade the lodge, coveys explode from the palmettos, and bull gators glide through blackwater sloughs. Our guides know every inch of this land—and they'll make sure you leave with stories worth telling.

The Silver Lake Difference

This isn’t a hunting operation—it’s a sporting tradition. Our guides have decades of experience. Our dogs are trained to perfection. And our land has been carefully stewarded for more than a century. When you hunt with us, you’re not a customer. You’re a guest.
