Very flat because of weeds. Always flat but best to go early in the season as the weeds are less.

Not much of a beach mostly a grassy patch. You must water launch with someone helping you. The water is shallow so it's not a problem but be careful with the trees. You need to enter from within the park near the pier.

Wind Type: | Thermal Winds, Frontal Winds |
Best Direction: | S, SSW, SW |
Main Direction: | No Info |
Can be very good if from the South/Southwest as it is funneled through the opening of the bay. But any direction can be good as offshore is no danger with land on the other side. It's a bay/inlet so the wind gets funneled in the mouth of the bay and can have wind in lots of different directions. Wind in Ontario tends to be the best in the spring and fall. Best direction: Southwest breeze.

It's near Chatham on lake Erie. If you look at any road map of the area it's easy to find. You'll need you own car.
Be very careful not to put your kite in the water as the weeds will tangle on your lines. Also don't cut across the swimming area.
