Isle of Catalina new boat launch dock repair January 2024

Lake House Dock Repair

The Isle of Catalina community property has a boat launch area in which the dock next to the boat launch was destroyed during Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Not having the dock resulted in boaters having to get in the water or use the seawall to assist in loading or unloading their vessel. In January 2024, Clear Lakes Foundation found the support of wakeboard professionals to volunteer their time and skills to rebuild the boat launch dock. This project would not have been completed without their support.

Restored Isle of Catalina Sign

Clear Lakes Foundation partnered with the Isle of Catalina Homeowner’s Association to identify and address the needs of this unique neighborhood. It’s volunteers like Craig Opsahl that delivered the beauty of Clear Lake living to the main entrance of the Isle of Catalina on Clear Way. Color coordinating the entrance sign with the community property, also referred to as the Lake House, the entrance sign is a sure welcome home sign to our neighborhood.
