Clinton Lake State Recreation Area offers six public boat ramps and one canoe launch with wheelchair-accessible docks, making it ideal for both motorboats and paddlers on the 4,900-acre lake.

The area features 308 campsites with varying amenities (Class AA sites with full hookups, Class A with electric, and Class B/S without utilities), plus a seasonal concession (Mascoutin Grill) near the swim beach that sells bait, camping supplies, and ice.

Upper lake arms are no-wake zones with some areas restricted to electric trolling motors only, while the main basin has no horsepower limitations.
