Summer 2021 Photography Contest

​Our Spring photo contest was so much fun, we are continuing the contest with the next season:  Summer!  Please join us in the park this Summer, and share your love of nature by posting your photos of the natural beauty you enjoy at Clear Lake State Park.  We will be accepting photos from July 1st to September 1st.

You must be an amateur photographer and may use any type of digital camera.  Photographs must be taken inside Clear Lake State Park during the period of the contest.  You may only post 5 photos during the period of the contest, but you may delete a photo and replace it with another.  If you choose to substitute in a new photo, you will lose the Likes on the deleted photo.
