Boat Ramps & Lake Access
The City of Lakeport boasts terrific boat ramps and lake access on Clear Lake and the best part of is that they’re free. Lakeport has three primary points of access to Clear Lake at First, Third, and Fifth Streets.  Seven lanes of boat ramp access to Clear Lake are available at these three ramp facilities. There is well-designed turn-around, back-up, and maneuvering access for boaters and abundant free boat, trailer, and vehicle parking just steps away. No long walks between the parking area and your docked boat!

Pamper yourself in Lake County
We’re tempted to treat a vacation like a rat race—how much adventure, food, and fun can we squeeze into just a few days? We zoom from one attraction to the next at a frenetic pace, driven by FOMO and a voracious appetite for experience outside the daily grind. But by the end of the trip, we’re more exhausted than when we arrived, and we go back home needing a vacation from the vacation. 
If the goal is to relax, there are better ways to holiday. With epic mountain views, a temperate climate, and the cleanest air in California, Lake County has plenty of ways to help you slow down, renew your mind and rejuvenate your body.
From hot springs to hiking, stargazing to SUP yoga, our spas and retreats offer luxurious accommodations and creature comforts nestled in the healing cradle of nature.

Lake County:  The Ideal Camping Destination
We all love a good hotel. If you’re the indoors type, nothing beats a cozy bed, cable TV,  a strong wi-fi signal, and a complimentary breakfast—not to mention a hot shower and turndown services. To that end, Lake County has plenty of exceptional lodges, hotels, motels, and inns to choose from. 
However, if your idea of vacation is relaxing in nature and sleeping under a bed of stars, you’ll find some of the best California camping right here in Lake County. Between our spectacular vistas, temperate climate, and the cleanest air in California (stargazers take note), campers of all stripes will find themselves in a paradise they won’t want to leave. Here’s a primer to help you plan:  Lake County:  The Ideal Camping Destination.

Concerts in the Park
Fridays during summer there are live free concerts in Lakeport’s Library Park. Bring your low-backed lawn chair or just a blanket and sit on the grass as some terrific bands fill the air with music right on the shore of Clear Lake. There’s a different band each week with a variety of music styles but it’s always a good time. Bring your picnics or visit some of Lakeport’s eateries and enjoy an evening under the clear skies of Lake County.

A Seasonal Tradition: The Pear Festival
Located at the base of Mt. Konocti and in the fertile Big Valley, Kelseyville’s a small town known for its hospitality. Main Street is filled with shops, wineries, and restaurants. It’s the kind of place to spend a weekend exploring. But something unique happens on the last weekend of every September. It’s the Pear Festival. Started in 1993, the first festival had 1,500 people attend. Since then, it’s grown to be much more. Now, over 10,000 attend annually as the Lake County community comes together to celebrate fall.
