  • Clear Lake State Park (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)

Going out to the south along the lake one will come across the 114-acre Clear Lake State Park. The principal shelter in the park presents itself as a medieval period revival dwelling (1938). The walls are of thick, rough limestone and the gable ends are of stained clapboard. The whole is covered with a low-pitched shingled roof, which presses everything down to the ground. A large bay window looks out from the end of one wing.
