Spot Details

- This is a small site with three lakes.  Good for an hour or two of flat snow covered ice riding.  Wind is generally reliable but gusty.  The first lake (east lake) gets some turbulence from the hedgerow of spruce trees upwind.  However, it is the largest lake.  2nd lake has good wind.  The third lake (west lake) is the smallest.  There are lots of trees and shrubs downwind and not a lot of leeway since the lakes are small.
