Ventura Marsh Access
Ventura Marsh Access
Ventura Marsh Access offers multiple parking lots on both the east and west sides of this 1,000+ acre marsh, with a recent 70-acre addition providing improved access to the west side via restored prairie.
The primitive access points feature unused service roads and walking paths along the marsh edges, making it suitable for wildlife viewing and hunting, though visitors should be prepared for muddy conditions and high tick populations.
The area is popular with kayakers and connects to adjacent bike trails in the Clear Lake region.
