Clearwater Lake is located in limestone bedrock country which gives the lake its robins egg blue tint. It is one of only 3 'true blue' lakes in the world, the others being Lake Baikal in Russia (the largest freshwater lake in the world) and Lake Lucerene in central Switzerland. The excellent beaches have sands which have a percentage of garnet crystals brought from the Precambrian rock by southward moving glacial ice.
The shores of the lake are forested with white spruce and jackpine on the higher land, and forests of black spruce and tamarack on the lower areas.
Moose, woodland cariboo and brown bear may be seen. The lake is a haunt of the sportsfisherman who take trophy northern pike and lake trout.
