Clear Lake

Clear Lake is a natural freshwater lake located in Northern California, known for its high water clarity and scenic surroundings. It is the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California’s borders and supports diverse ecosystems, recreational activities such as boating and fishing, and local communities. The lake's clear water results from low nutrient levels, but environmental challenges like sediment buildup and pollution pose risks. Protecting Clear Lake involves managing these issues to preserve its ecological health, water quality, and its importance as a regional natural resource.
