Canyon Lake / Jacobs Creek Park

This fresh water lake has a mixture of choppy wind swell on the outside and a small cove where glassy water conditions can be found. The Eastern most point of the park has small rocky ledges that allow access to the water. The ledges can be slippery and it is best if someone helps you enter and exit the water. The Eastern most point has a large grassy are to rig and launch in. Perfect for rigging and breaking down clean gear. Across the cove the western point has both a sandy beach that is easily used to launch from in NW and N winds by those that can stay upwind. The rest of the point has the same small rocky ledges that are best used to enter/exit the water with some assistance. Jacobs Creek Park is the main spot where kiters in the Central Texas area ride.
