Graph of Clear Lake, IA Hotel Prices for Next 20 Days

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Clear Lake, IA discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Clear Lake hotel for each day and each star rating category.

The area now known as Clear Lake was first a summer home to the Winnebago and Dakota tribes. In 1832, Nathan Boone, the son of Daniel Boone, created a map of the area and its bodies of water. In 1851, families moved in and began a friendship with the Winnebago natives. By 1855, the first school and steam sawmill were constructed. It wasn't long after that, that the town had graded streets, sidewalks, and other signs of a thriving new city. Clear Lake was officially incorporated in 1871.

Unfortunately, the city is forever remembered in music history as the last place The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly performed before their Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft took off from the local runway and crashed. The event was later memorialized in Don McLean's famous song, “American Pie.” Today, you can visit a monument at the crash site.

Whatever your reason for visiting Clear Lake, it's important to find the right hotel that allows you to enjoy everything the city has to offer.

When is the best time of year to visit Clear Lake, Iowa?

Clear Lake has a humid continental climate that gets hot in the summer. Popular activities during the summer include golfing, bicycling, volleyball, fishing, hunting, sport shooting, and swimming. However, you can always also visit an indoor attraction to cool off. Keep in mind that summer is Clear Lake's peak tourist season, so expect increased hotel rates.

If you want to save the most money on your trip to Clear Lake, try visiting in the winter. The area does experience 11 inches of snowfall each year on average, so you may want to book refundable flights and hotels just in case you get snowed out. Even if it snows, Clear Lake is a fun winter getaway for the whole family. Aside from the city's holiday events, Clear Lake hosts a colorful kite-flying event on the third Saturday in February, brightening up an otherwise dreary season.

To enjoy pleasant weather and reasonable hotel rates, plan a trip to Clear Lake during the spring and fall shoulder seasons. Average highs hit 70 by May and again in September, making it easy to enjoy the area's numerous outdoor attractions. October ushers in the Harvest Festival, one of the city's most beloved events. During the festival, you can stroll down Main Street while enjoying artist demonstrations, wine samplings, and other fall-themed experiences.
