Clearwater Lake Reservations

Clearwater Lake is a 5 acre spring-fed “pay to fish” impoundment in the southern portion of Orange County just off Mt. Carmel Road, situated on a piece of property currently owned by the YMCA of Chapel Hill. Clearwater is stocked with brook, brown, and rainbow trout, some of them very large. Fees charged to fish the lake defray the costs of stocking and maintenance. DIRECTIONS

Make a Reservation

NOTE: The reservation system only works properly with the Internet Explorer (IE) browser. If the IE browser is not available to you, please click here to e-mail John Eichorn and request a reservation(s) for a specific date(s). A confirmation e-mail will be sent to you.

To make a reservation, please print this page then click here to launch the reservation system, and follow the directions below.

Check the Clearwater update e-mail or contact John Eichorn for the user ID and password.

Once past the login dialogue, the easiest way to see what is available on a given date is:

1. Set the "Arrival Date" field. Click the calendar thumbnail next to the field and work through the GUI widget. Use pulldown menus to navigate through the months and years. If you don't see the year you want, use the - and + signs next to the year field. Click these to navigate through the years (and months). Click on the desired date off the resulting month calendar. Click the thumbnail again to set the selected date. Don't touch the "Departure Date" or "Number of Days" fields.

2. Click the "View Trips" button under the dates. The trips "Brook Trout", "Brown Trout", "Rainbow Trout", "Cutthroat Trout", "Apache Trout", "Gila Trout", "Golden Trout", and "Sunapee Trout" each represents an available Clearwater slot. Only the available slots will be shown. If you get a message indicating that there are no trips available for the date, go back to step 1 and choose another date.

3. Click the "View Trip Details" button for the desired trip. This will bring up a calendar for the specified month. Gray dates are available. Red dates are booked or blocked.

4. Click the "Book This Trip" button to initiate the reservation process. Verify that the date just above the "Continue" button is correct.

5. Click the "Continue" button. On the resulting page, the only thing that needs to be filled in is the "Name" field. Putting a '*' in the other fields is sufficient.

6. Click the "Book Trip" button. Consider the trip confirmed at this point. We don't have a customer service rep ...

If you want more than one slot, go back to step 1 above and reserve another slot. Note that the trip you just reserved will not show on the trip list.

Please do not sign up for more slots than you purchased or have remaining.

At this point, if you need to cancel a reservation, send a note to John Eichorn with the date you want cancelled. He will cancel the reservation and get back to you.
