2024 AIS - Zebra Mussel Update

Boat Rentals are not available in 2024.

As a result of Parks Canada’s proactive measures to prevent the spread of zebra mussels in Clear Lake, no recreational watercraft are permitted on the lake this summer. In alignment with these temporary restrictions, The Clear Lake Marina cannot provide boat rentals.

Martese Cruises are available in 2024.

Martese Cruises are planned to set sail, offering you the natural beauty of Clear Lake from the comfort of our Transport Canada regulated passenger vessel. The Martese provides public Afternoon Cruises and Sunset Cruises, and the vessel can be chartered for private events and gatherings for business, family, and friends.

Why are there no rentals?

The watercraft restrictions put in place by Parks Canada are a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of a potential zebra mussel population in Clear Lake. We encourage you to visit Riding Mountain National Park’s website to learn more about the situation:

Clear Lake Marina’s thoughts on the situation:

We take pride in our role as stewards of the pristine waters of Clear Lake and the natural splendor of Riding Mountain National Park. Our operations are rooted in the deep appreciation of this magnificent lake, which is integral to the sustainability of our community and the enjoyment of all who visit.

The lake is more than a scenic backdrop; it is the essence of our home and livelihood. With a vision for the future, we pledge to preserve its wonder and allure for the generations to come. We stand with those who share this dedication to maintaining the lake’s ecological balance and beauty.

In reverence, we recognize that we are situated on the ancestral lands of numerous First Nations communities. This acknowledgment is an expression of our gratitude for their safekeeping of this place and enduring connection to these lands, and a meaningful step toward reconciliation.

Clear Lake’s 2024 watercraft restrictions are temporary, and we look forward to providing you with watercraft rental opportunities in the future.

See you soon,
The Clear Lake Marina Team
