Know before you go
- Wind
- Wind is the main hazard on a board. If it picks up, kneel, stay near shore and paddle back into it rather than drifting out.
- Cold water
- A fall into 60°F water is a shock. Wear a leash and carry a life jacket; children should wear theirs.
- Clean, Drain, Dry
- Clean, drain and dry your board after every use, especially if it has been in another lake. Inspectors check at popular launches.
- Quiet water
- Fallen Leaf Lake has no motorized boats and stays flat all day, which makes it the easiest place to learn.
