A small lake community in the Mount Rainier foothills, Clear Lake is the quiet neighbor of busier Alder Lake — a spring-fed lake with a public boat launch, summer cabins turned year-round homes, and Rainier views from the ridge roads. Eatonville's shops and the mountain's Nisqually entrance are minutes away.
