You'll have to look carefully and it is not well maintained. I recommend starting in town and going clockwise around the lake. Stay on the roads that are closest to the lake at all times or you'll miss the entrance. The trail head is at the very end of SouthShore drive (actually it turns into 240th). 240th will turn into a gravel road that comes to a dead end. At this dead end you'll find a rather overgrown dirt trail. Follow this and keep as close to the lake as possible. It will take you about 4miles along the shore. Lots of overgrown weeds, but it is much better than going all the way around the state part to the far south on the road (well...if you like dirt anyway :). The trail ends at 242nd street about 4miles to the west. You can then take 242nd to Balsam Ave and north to complete the loop around the lake on pavement (about 14mi around the whole lake). I wouldn't make a special trip to Clear Lake just for the mtn biking, but if you're there anyway go for it :)
