About This Access Site
This county-owned access on Clear Lake's southeast shore features a single cement boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The site is located in Wirt, Itasca County, and provides straightforward water access for paddlers of all skill levels. An 84-foot handicapped-accessible fishing pier is within walking distance north of the ramp, making this a convenient spot for anglers and observers.
Clear Lake is a small, shallow waterbody with a maximum depth of 8 feet and approximately 3 miles of shoreline, making it ideal for leisurely paddling and fishing. The shallow depth means paddlers should be mindful of potential obstacles and changing bottom conditions. The Lost Dog and Fox Hunters County Park nearby offers additional amenities including a fishing pier, making this a good destination for a morning or afternoon paddle combined with shore activities.
