Spot Details
Parking lot right by the clearing where you can launch your kite. This can be a very busy lake at times with boats and jet-ski's galore, so if you are a newbie be very careful. There are always plenty of windurfers and kitesurfers there if the wind is above 12mph. The parking lot can fill quickly on weekends, but there is space to park on the grass along the main road.
