Located on the southwest shore of the lake, this point offers the best exposure to prevailing south winds with maximum fetch. Spacious grassy launch area. Gathering point for the Kansas City kite community — great vibe and mutual support. Season from May to October.
Freshwater with variable visibility. Water temperature from 0°C in winter (frozen) to 27°C in summer. Excellent fetch toward the northeast. Muddy to rocky bottom. Moderate to strong chop in high winds. Full 4/3 wetsuit in spring/fall, shorty in summer.

Frequent violent thunderstorms with lightning and possible tornadoes — exit water immediately. Heavy motorboat traffic in summer, especially weekends. Submerged debris in some areas. Large lake: rapidly changing conditions. Copperhead snakes in wooded areas.
