Clear Lake Country Winter Pavillion

Everyday is an Adventure in Clearlake.


There’s a certain magic to winter in Clear Lake that comes from the distinct quiet and comfort of a town taken over by just the adventurous few ready to embrace winter’s charms.

The town hangs string lights and dreams up skating rinks just about everywhere it can to add a sense of whimsy to the experience. Snow sculptures, ice rinks on frozen lakes and pop-up restaurants have all been embraced by Clear Lake Country, and there’s no telling what we may dream up next. Winter also tends to be the most enchanted time to see the northern lights dance across an otherwise dark sky speckled with stars.
