About This Access Site
This county-owned boat ramp on the southeast shore of Clear Lake offers a straightforward launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The site features a single cement boat ramp with parking for several vehicles and is conveniently located near an 84-foot handicapped-accessible fishing pier, making it suitable for paddlers of various abilities.
Clear Lake is a shallow, 652-acre water body with a maximum depth of 8 feet and approximately 3 miles of shoreline. These calm, shallow conditions make it ideal for recreational paddling, fishing, and family outings. The gentle terrain and limited depth mean paddlers should expect minimal waves and straightforward conditions, though the shallow water requires attention to navigation. The nearby Lost Dog and Fox Hunters County Park also offers a fishing pier and additional amenities for visitors.
