EXTRA PARKING AT CLEARWATER HARBOR BAR
If all the parking areas on the above map are full, the Clearwater Harbor Bar offers parking in their 3rd Parking Lot, located at N2830 Cty Hwy. QQ, Waupaca.  Just launch your boat then drive your vehicle with trailer to this location and have another person in your party drive the boat across the lake to the Clearwater Harbor Bar.   Pay $20 via cash (there is a box with envelopes for cash), Venmo, or PayPal.  Walk a short distance down to the bar and have your party pick you up there.  If you just have a vehicle without a trailer there is no charge to park there.

BOATING RULES AND SAFETY

Stand-up paddle boarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world. With the rise in popularity, many paddle boarders often forget that being on a paddleboard requires the same safety precautions and vigilance as any other activity on the water, which includes having a life jacket on their board. But DNR strongly recommends wearing the jacket. "Wearing a life jacket significantly reduces the chance of injury or death."  For more information on boating regulations, go to https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/boat/
