Guests are required to sign waiver on site. 

Directions: East or West bound on I-90, take Exit 264 (Cheney/ Medical Lakes Exit) and go north. Turn Right (100feet) onto Clear Lake Road on the North side of I-90. The US Air Force Clear Lake Recreation Area is clearly marked at the corner of Clear Lake and Salnave Rd. The Recreation Area is then just a short distance down Clear Lake Road on the left.  Drive past the open sliding access gate down to the parking lot and boat ramp.  Please launch boats expeditiously and clear the ramp area.  Pontoon boats/float tubes can be unloaded to the left of the ramp.

Parking: A Discover Pass or Vehicle Access Pass is NOT required.

Special Note: This is a great opportunity to get out and fish a local lake and enjoy the camaraderie of club members. You can fish for a couple of hours prior to the club picnic. There is a boat launch if you have a boat or you can launch your pontoon boat/float tube right at the beach area at the main office pavilion. The WDFW Spokane Kids Fishing Day will be held here the week prior so the likelihood of lots of fish in this area will be great. It has in the past! This outing is conducted in conjunction with the Annual Awards Picnic which begins at 11AM.
