Mears, the daughter of lumber baron Charles Mears. In 1926, the federal government transferred 900 acres to the state, which became Sand Dunes State Park in 1949. Based upon a 1949 master plan, the two were merged, with Silver Lake State Park seeing its new boundaries dedicated in 1951. Facilities and activities The park is considered a multi-use park with recreational opportunities that include camping, hunting, swimming, hiking, boating, fishing, picnicking, and off - road vehicle driving.
