On the water

Fresh water of Lake Tawakoni. Large lake with excellent fetch. Muddy to sandy bottom. Flat to choppy water. No tide. Warm water in summer. Large fetch can create significant chop in strong wind. Good for freeride and long sessions.

Hazards

Violent thunderstorms and tornadoes possible — rural area with little shelter. The lake is large, wind can be powerful. Submerged obstacles (dead trees). Fishing boat traffic. More isolated area than urban lakes — plan for rescue.
