Launch notes

The flat water and dedicated beach make for easy ground launches and water starts. Best launches occur with WSW to NW winds; check wind direction before heading out as cross-shore winds can complicate beach operations.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 14-17m kite for the light average winds (10.4 kts); having multiple sizes is ideal for variable conditions. A directional board or small freestyle board works well on flat water.

Clothing · Wear a 4/3mm or 5/4mm wetsuit year-round; water temperatures are cold even in peak season (Oct-Nov). Water temps drop significantly in late fall, requiring extra thermal protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Stay coordinated with other kiters on the small lake and respect any local water sports users. Keep clear of swimmers and fishing areas during peak seasons.

Additional notes

October and November are prime months with the most consistent wind days; plan trips accordingly. Check local weather forecasts closely as inland lake wind can be unpredictable—visit during peak wind windows for best sessions.
