Spot Details

A fairly large Irrigation lake south of Brooks and a 2 hour drive east of Calgary. Camping is available, and nice facilities, but no showers. The best access is from Kinbrook Park. Though not as windy, Newell offers great prairie sailing. Winds are like Eagle and often come from different directions. Access is rocky so bring your boardsailing shoes.
