Clear Lake State Park


Four miles from Kelseyville, on the lake’s western shore, this park is idyllic and gorgeous, with hiking trails, fishing, boating and camping. The bird-watching is extraordinary (up to 300 species!). The visitor center (open May to September) has natural history and cultural diorama exhibits.
