Spot Details
Eagle Lake is a 40 minute drive east of Calgary along
Highway 1. It offers full facility camping, day sailing and a sandy
beach. If you've gone to Chestermere and the conditions don't look
very promising, try here. Eagle is subject to different wind conditions
because of the unique geography of the surrounding area.
S winds are often gusty, W winds are onshore ...
this place can go OFF in strong Northerly conditions with a short
steep, breaking swell! The swells have very, very, very smooth
water between them so it is a kiters paradise as well. Shallow
... nice kite launch. Check it out in the spring and early summer!
The water occasionally becomes uncomfortably infested
with algae by August. Yuk! Source: Windsurfingalberta.com
Campground charges pricey day use fee.
