Clear lake is a beautiful and family friendly town. Main street is a welcoming lively place. I have lived here for many years and have always felt safe. The people who live here are caring and wonderful.
Summer is one of the best times to be around. From our Thursday's on Main to the 4th of July extravaganza, there is so much to do. Take a beautiful ride on the Lady of the Lake or just sit and drink a coffee from the beloved Cabin Coffee shop. Either way you are going to get that homely, wonderful, small town feel.
Summers are fantastic, but there is plenty to experience the rest of the year. One of the most beautiful events is Christmas by the Lake. The whole town gathers down by the lake to build snowmen, see nativity scenes, ride animals, you name it! It is beautiful and everyone loves to come together to bring the experience.
Weather you like the small town lively main street life or the quiet walk by the lake, you will love Clear Lake. I have loved it ever since I moved here.

Very close-knit community. There are tons of events during the summer, including "Thursdays on Main". During the winter there is a huge kite festival on the lake.
I grew up and spend most of my life in Clear Lake, Iowa. Clear Lake offers a wide variety of entertainment from live music, entertainment, theater, a large lake excellent for water sports and fishing, and more! The thing I like the most about Clear Lake is the welcoming atmosphere the community provides for guests. People leave and end up coming back because they loved it so much. Clear Lake's population ends up basically doubling in the summertime because it is such a hot spot for tourists between the lake, and the historical Surf Ballroom where Buddy Holly played his last show!
