Spot Details
Easiest access is from Wayzata Bay. Take Hwy 12 to the Hwy 101 exit. Follow 101N/Wayzata Blvd through Wayzata, Left on Superior Blvd., Right on Lake St., Left on Grove Ln. E. and then out the public access. You'll see the kites directly out from the launch on any windy, snowy winter day. Kiteable from most directions...can be sketchy with North winds.
