State Highway 200 Clearwater County
The boat ramp in question is a public boat ramp that is suitable for all kinds of boats, including motorboats, sailboats, and fishing boats. The ramp is relatively wide, allowing for easy launch and retrieval of boats. However, the exact width of the ramp is not specified in the available information.
The boat ramp services the Clearwater Lake, which is a popular destination for boaters, fishermen, and water sports enthusiasts in the Clearwater County. Clearwater Lake is a relatively large lake that covers an area of 3,268 acres and has a maximum depth of 76 feet. The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including walleye, northern pike, bass, and crappie.
As a public boat ramp, the State Highway 200 Clearwater County ramp is open to all kinds of craft, provided they meet the necessary safety and registration requirements. Boaters are advised to exercise caution when navigating the lake and to observe all boating regulations in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About State Highway 200 Clearwater County
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
