Lakeside Park Near Kelseyville Offers Free Boat Launches and Fishing Docks

KELSEYVILLE — November 2, 2026. Lake County Parks describes Lakeside Park at 1985 Park Drive in Kelseyville as a Clear Lake waterfront facility with a free public boat ramp, large trailer parking, fishing docks and recreation areas.

Boating and fishing access

The county lists a shoreline for fishing, a launch area, dock access and space for boat trailers. Vessel requirements, aquatic invasive-species inspections, fishing licenses and specific lake restrictions are separate from the launch fee.

Amenities for families

Lakeside Park also has playgrounds, softball fields, a dog park, picnic spaces, restrooms and a wetland nature area. Individual facilities may close for events or maintenance even when the broader grounds are accessible.

Water quality is a separate question

Clear Lake can experience harmful algal blooms. A boat launch or beach access listing is not a live confirmation that swimming is safe. Check county water-quality advisories and posted signs before people or dogs enter the water.
