Silver Lake as many might know is the headwaters of the Susan River. In the 1920s, the forest service offered cabin sites on a long term lease basis.
On May 28, 1938, Lurah May Stubblefield was granted to operate a seasonal post office there, that she christened Lake Nokopen. Â Stubblefield was the only postmaster and the post office closed on June 29, 1940. The name Lake Nokopen may have been attributed to the Boy Scouts organization, that held summer camp there during the late 1920s and 1930s.
We do a few snow surveys at silver lake every year. The card that shows the course calls it lake nokopen.
