Clear Lake Campground
Click on Clear Lake site map to enlarge

Clear Lake is not a natural lake but a reservoir created and managed under a long-term permit for agricultural irrigation off the forest. The lake usually becomes increasingly shallow beginning in early July in order to meet these agricultural water rights needs.
