Wind Sailing on Waterton Lakes
Waterton International Peace Park is a windsurfer's dream come true. The strong winds, open lakes and Rocky Mountain scenery is nothing short of a Mecca for wind sailing enthusiasts. Waterton is famous for its "wa-was" - wind and water walls that hurtle down Upper Waterton Lake for miles creating a dark ominous wall. Given the glacial temperature of the water, all wind sailers are strongly encouraged to wear full wet or dry suits.

Wind Sailing on Waterton Dam
Just 15 minutes east of the Waterton townsite, the Waterton Dam offers tremendous flat water conditions for wind sailers. Because the water is shallower, it is much warmer and offers good conditions in southwest to west winds.
