Hiking

Clearwater Lake Recreation Area spans 32 acres, encircled by longleaf pine and wiregrass. This shaded, wooded setting is perfect for camping, picnicking, swimming, and hiking. Paddle a canoe or kayak around the lake’s shoreline, just over a mile in circumference. Camp in one of the 42 breezy, shaded sites at Clearwater Lake Campground, with bathhouses and showers. The lake is open for fishing or a refreshing dip.

Hiking

A small, cozy campsite with a beautiful lake that invites you to swim. In Paisley there is everything a hiker needs, a pub, laundromat and shops. So an ideal place to take a day off on the FT.
