Shallow sand bar riding on the inside and deeper water in the middle of the lake. Great place to learn and ride flat water in SW winds. Best riding is strong SW winds. The huge shallow sand bar totally knocks down the chop for awesome flat water. Or venture out in the deeper water for chop riding. Small beach access, but plenty of room to self launch in the water if needed. Usually others are around to assist. Still good riding in West and South winds if the winds are strong. Tends to be gustier though due to shorter throws. Spring and fall are the best winds with summer tending to be lighter. Best direction: SW. Season from early spring (April) to late fall (November). Wetsuit needed almost all of the time, summer warmer. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
