Lakeside Recreation

Clear Lake is one of the biggest lakes in California. As such, it's a popular destination for boating and fishing. In fact, it's known as "the bass capital of the West" due to the large, healthy bass population the lake supports. Clear lake is a frequent stop for professional and weekend fishermen alike. Fishing can be done from a boat or one of the many piers you'll find on the lake. For the thrill-seekers, many businesses around the lake offer jet ski, sailing, windsurfing, and wake board rentals. At the end of the day, enjoy a dazzling sunset over the water.

Other Things To Do

Don't miss out on the over 100 miles of hiking and biking trails that Lake County has to offer. Depending on which trail you choose, you might find yourself meandering through a field of wildflowers, or traversing the rocky slopes of a mountain peak. Either way, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. While you're here, don't forget to look up! Clear lake is a great place to stargaze. It's a sight you simply can't see in bigger cities. If you're in the mood for some music, there's live performances most nights of the week at local clubs and venues around the lake.
