Overview

Oliphant is a small village on the Bruce Peninsula on the east shore of Lake Huron. It's one of Ontario's most popular kitesurf spots, known for its extremely shallow water extending for a very long distance — you can walk hundreds of metres into the water. Sand and limestone gravel bottom. The shallow flat water makes it ideal for freestyle and learning.
