Clear Lake Overflow Camping Area
Camping near Clear Lake, a reservoir that provides irrigation to agriculture fields east of the forest. The water level starts decreasing usually in early July to meet these agricultural water rights needs. Keep Clear Lake beautiful for others and for wildlife. Pack out trash, don’t drive off-roadways, and dispose of human waste properly.
