Clear Lake, Lodge

The Clear Lake Lodge access site offers a county-owned boat ramp on the southeast shore of Clear Lake in Koochiching County. This moderate-sized facility features a single concrete ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The site provides practical water access for recreational paddlers and anglers looking to explore this scenic northern Minnesota lake.

Clear Lake is a shallow waterbody with a maximum depth of 8 feet and approximately 3 miles of shoreline, making it ideal for calm-water paddling and fishing. Paddlers should be aware of the lake's shallow nature when planning routes and anchor points. The area includes nearby amenities such as a fishing pier at the Lost Dog and Fox Hunters County Park, and primitive camping is available if you're planning an extended visit. This access point is well-suited for beginners and families seeking a straightforward launch location on a manageable-sized lake.
