Type:	Shallow, Flat, Chop
Hazards:	None
Quality:	Cloudy
Best Tide:	Tide Independent

Shallow sand bar riding on the inside and deeper water in the middle of the lake. Great place to learn and ride flat water in SW winds. Best riding is strong SW winds. The huge shallow sand bar totally knocks down the chop for awesome flat water. Or venture out in the deeper water for chop riding.

Small beach access, but plenty of room to self launch in the water if needed. Usually others are around to assist.

Still good riding in West and South winds if the winds are strong. Tends to be gustier though due to shorter throws. Spring and fall are the best winds with summer tending to be lighter. Best direction: SW.

Get directions from

Take I 90/94 to Hwy 12/18 (Beltline) heading West. Take Monona Drive Exit heading North. Olbrich Park is about 4 miles north on the left side. Can't miss it. It's the only beach on the water on Lake Monona.

Rules:

Restricted Zones

Swimming buoys go up in the summer months, so launching happens in the water. The big issue is the weeds. Once summer hits it gets surface weeds which make riding a pain. They come and go and sometimes the city cuts them out. It's worth it to see. The weeds are a problem if the winds are SW or W.
