Claylick Boat Ramp
Claylick Boat Ramp is located on the eastern shore of Cave Run Lake. The parking lot serves both boaters and walk-in campers at the nearby Claylick Boat-in Campground. Fishing is not allowed from the boat ramp, but once you are in the water, you will find a wide variety of fish species. Cave Run Lake is well-known for excellent muskie fishing. Swimming or sunbathing within 100 feet of any boat launch ramp or courtesy boat dock is prohibited for public safety. The site includes parking, signage, trash collection, security lighting and a courtesy dock.
Claylick Boat-in Campground has 13 primitive campsites and must be entered by boat or by walking in from the nearby Claylick Boat Ramp parking lot. Boat moorings are available at the campground for those who boat in.
