Where to Find Us
Clinton Lake was built by Illinois Power Company during the 1970’s to cool the Clinton Nuclear Power Station. Now owned by Amergen, the lake is surrounded primarily by land managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. CLSA leases the club’s grounds from Dewitt County, which owns and operates the lake’s only full-service marina. CLSA’s pavilion is located adjacent to and just north of the marina itself. Most of the club’s members rent mooring balls, slips, or dry-moorings from the marina operator.
CLSA leases, maintains, and uses an open pavilion, a dock and gravel launching ramp. We own and operate a pontoon boat that serves as our race committee boat, and is equipped with horns, buoys, and all that is needed to run fun and safe races. We also own and operate a fleet of small sailboats available to our members.
Clinton Lake is located roughly 35 miles from Champaign/Urbana or Bloomington/Normal. The CLSA pavilion is best reached from Route 10 south of the lake. Find White Pigeon/Marina road and drive north. Take the entrance to Clinton Lake Marina and look for our facility just north (to your right) of the marina grounds. Click on the links below for maps.
CLSA is co-located with the Clinton Lake Marina (http://clintonlakemarina.com/), which provides dry and wet storage rental, food, boat supplies, and more!
