Clear Lake kitesurf spot
Canada · Manitoba
Overview
Clear Lake is the jewel of Riding Mountain National Park, at 614 m altitude on the Manitoba Escarpment. This crystal-clear lake surrounded by mixed forest (aspen, spruce, birch) offers an exceptional setting for kitesurfing. The national park, one of Manitoba's finest, is home to abundant wildlife (elk, black bears, beavers). The town of Wasagaming on the lakeshore offers all services. Clear Lake is Manitoba's highest kitesurfing spot with remarkably clear water.
