Clear Lake

The Clear Lake boat ramp in Manitowish Waters provides public access to this 77-acre lake in Vilas County. This is a straightforward access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to launch on Clear Lake. The lake has a maximum depth of 12 feet and is known for panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike fishing. Be aware that water clarity is low, which is typical for many Wisconsin lakes in this region.

Paddlers should plan accordingly for the modest size of this water body—at 77 acres, it's ideal for recreational kayaking and canoeing rather than extended open-water trips. The ramp appears to be a standard public facility, making it a convenient launch point for a half-day paddle or fishing outing. For current information on facilities, hours, parking, or any seasonal closures, contact local management or visit the Manitowish Waters area office before your visit.
