Clear Lake

Description: The flat land surrounding this lake make for steady winds. This lake runs east to west but can be sailed from pretty much any direction. The lake is shallow so even on a big day the chop never gets huge.
Directions: Just over 2 hours from Minneapolis, the route is a straight shot down 35 to Clear Lake. Depending on the wind direction, you can take any of the 3 exits. There are numerous launches around the lake.
