Boat Launch on the south shore of Keho Lake, Alberta's most renowned kitesurfing spot. Keho Lake is an irrigation reservoir at 963 m altitude in southern Alberta, between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod.
This lake benefits from the famous Chinook winds — powerful foehn winds descending from the Rockies — regularly blowing from the west and southwest at 25-45 knots. The Boat Launch offers easy access with a launch ramp and parking. Season from May to October. Reference spot for the Alberta kite community.
Shallow irrigation reservoir (2-5 m). Warm fresh water in summer (18-22°C). Muddy to sandy bottom. Short, fast chop characteristic of shallow prairie lakes. Water level varies with the irrigation season — can be low in late summer. Brownish water.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Chinook winds can be very powerful (40+ knots) with violent gusts. Sudden wind shifts. Shallow bottom — contact risk. Variable water level depending on season. Lightning and thunderstorms frequent in the prairies. No trees for wind shelter.
