Popular Sailing Sites on Lake Winnebago:

Wind Power / Roosevelt Park 
This is by far the most popular windsurfing site on Lake Winnebago.  Roosevelt Park includes a large grassy rigging area, restrooms (open all year round), picnic tables, grills and abundant parking close to the launch.  The lake is shallow and sandy for first 100 yards.
Shortboard on southwest through northeast winds.  Southwest crab to wind line to great slalom sailing.  West to northwest gives port ramps. North to northeast gives yields port and starboard ramps and onshore waves.
Columbia Park 
Columbia park features large grassy rigging area, restrooms, picnic tables and grills.  Plenty of parking close to the water.  Also, camping, lookout tower and boat launch.
Shortboard on southwest through north winds.  Southwest and north winds produce a tricky wind shadow between shore and wind line. Good ramps all wind directions.  Advise Sailing with a Friend.

Fisherman's Road
This local boat launch has a small grassy rigging area on north side of parking lot and porta-potties.  This launch is supported by local fisherman, so please show your respect.
Shortboard south through north winds.  South winds produce a tricky wind shadow. South through west yield good port ramps, while north through northeast produce starboard ramps.  Sail with a Friend!

 

The Wayside
The U.S. Hwy 45 Wayside features grassy rigging, restrooms and parking on the water.  Easy launch with very shallow bottom first 100 yards.  Don't bust up that new fin, be careful.
Shortboard on south, southeast and east winds.  Good slalom conditions with small chop and waves.  Big east wind days can produce good wave and ramps.
