Not the biggest lake for windsurfing or kiting, but this lake has a few things going for it. 1. No wake/motorboating lake 2. Very open to winds from all directions except the rare west winds. 3. New lake with camping and other facilties, and lots to do that is also good for family and other activities such as hiking or biking the 4 mile trail around, canoeing etc 4. There are sailing areas that will be great for learning windsurfing and kite board, for speed sailing, course racing and general salom sailing. I do not expect to extreme waves like Calamus or Big Mac can get on high winds, but it is only 20 minutes from west Omaha!

These are 2 sites that are useful in determining
if water contact (such as windsurfing) is a good idea at a particular body of
water. Not all lakes are monitored, but I usually assume a lake like Cunningham
Lake in Omaha should have levels close to that of a similar lake like Wherspan
lake (Chalco Hills Rec area). This assumption could be reasonable for toxic
blue-green algae but not E. coli.

The last couple of days, I am finally doing something with the old newindsurfing.com website to make it more current and feature full. The Google Sites seems to work pretty good for a free product. This is a good start to making the site better for club members to communicate and share sailing sessions and more. Robert
