Clear Lake is the largest lake in Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, situated adjacent to the town of Wasagaming. The lake is noted for having some of the clearest water in the province, with sandy beaches that make it a popular destination for paddlers and swimmers alike. The surrounding landscape includes shoreline trails and the broader boreal environment of the national park.

The primary Wasagaming access point for paddlers is through Wasagaming, where the Clear Lake Marina operates on the main pier. The marina offers kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals, as well as pedal boats. Guided two-hour kayak tours have historically been offered through Parks Canada's summer programming, typically running four days per week with morning departures at 9:00 a.m. and evening departures at 7:30 p.m., limited to eight participants per trip. Advance reservations are required for guided tours.

Regulations on Clear Lake have evolved in recent years and paddlers should verify current rules before visiting. As of 2025, only non-motorized watercraft were permitted on the lake, with motorized boats returning under a mandatory tagging and inspection program for the 2026 season. Regardless of the year, all watercraft, fishing equipment, wetsuits, and inflatables must pass an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) inspection conducted by Parks Canada staff and comply with Clean, Drain, Dry protocols before launching. A permit system is in place, and visitors must choose between an annual permit for Clear Lake or one covering other park waterbodies such as Lake Audy, Moon Lake, and Lake Katherine. The inspection station is located at Boat Cove in Wasagaming.

Parks Canada enforces a one-boat, one-lake approach to reduce the risk of spreading aquatic invasive species, meaning equipment used on Clear Lake should not be used on other lakes within the park without proper inspection and compliance.

The paddling season runs through summer, with Parks Canada programming typically active during that period. The lake's shoreline offers views of the surrounding park landscape, and wildlife observation is a draw for visitors to the area. Wasagaming, directly adjacent to the lake, provides dining, shopping, and other amenities within easy reach of the water.
