Spot Details

Near Milo, 1 1/2 hours southeast of Calgary. Sandy, muddy, rocky access so pick your spot. Toilets, fire pits and tables are available. This location goes OFF in strong due South (read sub 4.5 ) and North conditions, with HUGE rolling swells! Water is warm early in the season. A lot of room and flat water make this a good kite location in S, SW and N winds. Good flat water sailing on windward side, more waves as you move downwind. Flat water on the N end on North winds ... more waves as you move downwind.

Spot #1:
Drive another few kms south and see a west road with abandoned farm buildings. Laurents favorite spot. They drove the dirt track to the lake and stayed off the fields 100 feet away. Nice spot, sandy bottom, easy access. In the water there is a sort of "jetty" of vegetation that kills the waves near shore for flat water cruising. Go out 200 feet past it and its a nice swell.

Spot #2:
Further south about 2 kms ... straight to the shore line on a dirt track.  Nice turnaround, grass launch, swell should be ok when its SW or NW to N. Good for all wind directions except East winds.

Spot #3:
There is a development at the east end fo McGregor with a public access boat launch and public property for 100 metres from shore with grass rigging areas. Because the lake is narrower here, the waves should be small in west, SW and S winds ... but they should be HUGE when the wind is NW! All side to onshore.

Spot #4:
The existing campground and boat launch at the north end.  Best in S to East winds and good in SW winds.  Any other wind direction makes it offshore.  This area can be awesome flat water kiting when its blowing NE ... and the launch gets considerably better late in the season when the water is down.
