Dive In

Stay closer to home and enjoy the warmer waters of Dutch Lake right in the heart of Clearwater. It’s a great place to sit and relax on the beach or dock while the kids take a swim in the pristine water alongside the local painted turtles. Swim to or paddle to the mysterious secret island at the heart of the lake. Dip your paddle in its crystal waters as you catch sight of eagles and the stunning fuchsia water lilies that adorn the lake in the summer months.
