1 Roosevelt Park: Our local favorite launch. Located in a county park, windsurfers and kiters launch from the north end of the park, down  concrete stairs into the water. Water is knee to waist deep for a hundred yards with sandy bottom, so water launching and landing is good. We are working on removing some trees to improve shore launches. Has flushing toilets Spring thru Fall. Best for WSW to N. Also A good winter launch. Conditions permitting, you can drive onto the ice from a ramp at the South end of the Park next to the small marina. Wind Power Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Center is located across the street as well as Sunset supper club and Kens Retreat Bar. It just doesn’t get any better than this on Winnebago.
