Nelson Street

The Nelson Street boat ramp is a one-lane concrete launch located on the south shore of Clear Lake in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. This mid-lake access point offers street parking and provides a straightforward entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. As a public access site managed by Clear Lake Parks & Recreation, it serves as a convenient alternative to the downtown ramp for those launching from the southern side of the lake.

Clear Lake is a popular recreational destination offering plenty of open water for paddling and boating. The Nelson Street ramp's location on the south shore makes it an ideal starting point for exploring that section of the lake. Being a one-lane facility, it's best suited for smaller boats and may experience congestion during peak recreation periods. Paddlers should plan accordingly and consider visiting during off-peak hours for easier access.
