Clear Lake: A Flourishing Rural City in the Heart of Minnesota
Established more than 100 years ago, Clear Lake has managed to maintain its rural characteristics despite of many developments that it has underwent in recent years. And because of these developments the city is expected to continue its efforts and is looking forward to grow the business and increase job opportunities. Clear Lake is situated on the main traffic areas of Twin Cities and St. Cloud that makes it an easy access to bigger cities’ shopping centers and conveniences while maintaining a small town community atmosphere.
Best Time to Visit
For warm weather to explore Clear Lake, March to June is generally the most ideal months but because this is also the peak season, hotel accommodation and airfare during this time is relatively more expensive.
What to Do & Area Attractions
A visit to the Warner Lake Park is a good start in exploring the city. The park is a big recreational area with swimming pools, picnic area and hiking trails. Quarry Park and Nature Preserve is another place for nature lovers. Summerland Family Fun Park is a favorite family water park with go-kart racetrack and mini golf course.
