One of my very favorite campgrounds, this camping trip was no less than I expected. Sequoia's second camping trip she really showed herself an outdoor girl. My mother and father, Ardith, Amelia and Elowen joined us for the trip. We brought the canoes and took them out several times. The water in the lake is so clear (thus the name) that you can see trees sticking straight up from the bottom, many feet below. It's a beautiful aqua blue in color and cold as ice. The weather was so warm we did take a few VERY quick swims, but it's not common, the water is just too cold. With Sahalie falls just over a mile away and a beautiful trail around the lake there are no lack of nice hikes to take. It's about 5 miles all the way around the lake and well worth the hike. At the end of the lake is Clear Lake lodge and a nice little restaurant with friendly staff. I won a bet with Seth (eating a tablespoon full of dry instant coffee) and earned breakfast with him there while my mother and father watched the girls. It was fun to canoe over there and back. Very nice. I give it five stars.
