Campground details
Setting
Clear Lake features a single rustic campsite on the eastern shore of a 109-acre lake in the Hiawatha National Forest. The 50-by-30-foot open site holds up to eight people and accommodates trailers. A public back-in boat launch sits directly adjacent to the campsite, bringing public traffic through the site footprint to access the water for perch and bass fishing. The location has no drinking water and no vault toilets on site.
