Clear Creek empties into the W side of Galveston Bay 20 miles NW of Galveston; 2 miles above its mouth the creek broadens into shallow Clear Lake, 2.5 miles long. A dredged channel leads from Galveston Bay through Clear Creek and across Clear Lake, thence a natural channel leads for another 3.3 miles through Clear Creek to the railroad bridge at League City. In 2010, the controlling depth was 2 feet (7 feet at midchannel) in the entrance channel; thence in 2009, 4 feet through Clear Lake, thence 7 feet in Clear Creek to the railroad bridge at League City. The Clear Creek entrance channel and the creek and lake channels are well marked with lights, buoys, and daybeacons.
