Clearwater Lake Loop is a 1.3-mile loop hike in the Seminole Ranger District of the National Forests in Florida, managed by the Forest Service. It's an easy walk with no elevation gain, so it's a short outing that pairs well with time at the campgrounds close by. The trail is a natural-surface loop, and the steepest part comes at about 0.55 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. Bikes and horses are not allowed, and the trail is not accessible. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to go.
