2 popular launch sites:
1. at the dam -- depending on the water level, this could be
        a long or short walk; nice slow slope -- lot's of places
        to rig, but there seems to be lots of thorny growth around
        so be careful with your sail. also, during south wind days,
        it's directly 'onshore'.
2. at the boat launch area -- more dirt/rocks but closer to the water.
        wind not as consistent until you get out to the middle of the
        lake.
