Spot de Walter Drive

Walter Drive

Walter Drive

Overview

Walter Drive is a dual-season spot on Lake Simcoe in Keswick. In summer, the spot faces north toward the lake for kitesurfing and wingfoil. In winter, the lake freezes and becomes an exceptional snowkite terrain. It's Lake Simcoe's ultimate versatile spot, usable 9 months per year. Just 1h from Toronto, it's the most accessible lake for GTA riders.
