Spot Details

A government developed sailing site is on the SE corner of the lake, and is where most of the sailing is done these days. Pea gravel lauvch, lots of parking, washrooms ... great viewing. This is an awesome spot!

I understand there is a bit of user conflict at Windy Point at the OMD ... if we are kiting there ... remember there is a 30m restriction in place. Don't be a jackass and huck close to shore! Force 10 is taking steps to smooth this misunderstanding over ... in the meantime ... lets be good citizens.
