The water is like most lakes in the region. The water can get a bit choppy if you go out when the wind is blowing over 20mph. The areas to launch from are really on all sides of the lake. The best spot is the Marina grass field located on the west side of the lake near the golf course. The marina is right there and has a full service bar and grill, live music, and great service. After having been to many of the lakes in the region this spot has been voted # 1 by the local kiters due to the great launch and recovery spots (sailboat cove - which is down wind on a S/SW wind). Kansas City can have intense wind and also days that perfect. Watch out for squalls and thunderstorms that pop up in the evening. The weather is good. Warm in summer, cold in winter. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food.
