Lake Wenatchee State Park is a kitesurfing spot on Lake Wenatchee, a glacial mountain lake in Washington State's Cascades at 565 meters altitude. This picturesque lake is surrounded by fir forests and snow-capped mountains. The state park offers easy lake access with full facilities (camping, beach, restrooms). Valley thermal winds are channeled by the mountain terrain, providing regular conditions in summer. The alpine setting is beautiful with views of the Cascade peaks.
Fresh mountain water, cool (10-18°C in summer). 3/2 to 4/3 wetsuit recommended. The lake is moderately sized with a sandy and rocky bottom. Valley thermal winds blow at 12-22 knots in summer, channeled by the terrain. Surface generally flat to slightly choppy. The lake offers sufficient space for riding with shallow areas near shore ideal for learning.
