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.
