That spot looks pretty nice.

I spent a couple of years in Chicago and mostly used to windsurf a lake in indiana, just over the boarder near Gary. I cannot remember then name of it but it was pretty busy with sailors back then. Any idea which it might have been?

I also sailed a lake up in Wisconsin somewhere.

That would be Wolf Lake. The gang is still there.

I'm guessing Silver Lake.

One of about 15 launches on the lake for different wind directions / conditions. The bridge pool has campsites all along the shoreline. Waist high swell in the middle and flat water in the coves. For SSW, SW wind.

Some photos from a good sesh i shot years ago.
