Located in Ventura, this boat ramp provides access to Clear Lake, a 3,643-acre water body in Cerro Gordo County. The site offers practical amenities for boaters and paddlers, including parking and picnic facilities. Note that the boat ramp has undergone recent improvements and installation work—contact local authorities to confirm current operational status before your visit.
Clear Lake is a popular destination for kayaking, canoeing, and motorboating. The Ventura Access point serves as a convenient launch location, though paddlers should be aware that McIntosh Woods State Park, located nearby on the lake, offers one of the largest and most developed boat ramps in the area with extensive trailer parking if needed. For the most current information on ramp conditions, hours of operation, and any fees, contact the Iowa DNR or local Cerro Gordo County parks department.
