Ventura Access provides boat launch facilities on Clear Lake, a 3,643-acre lake in north-central Iowa near Ventura. The site features parking and picnic amenities, making it a convenient spot for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users. Note that the boat ramp has undergone recent renovation, so check current conditions before your visit. As one of several access points on Clear Lake, this location offers a more modest alternative to the larger McIntosh Woods State Park facility.
Clear Lake is a popular destination for flatwater paddling and recreational boating. Before heading out, paddlers should be aware that conditions can vary, and it's always wise to check local weather and water conditions. For the most up-to-date information about ramp status, amenities, and any seasonal closures, contact the Iowa Department of Natural Resources or local management offices in Cerro Gordo County.
