Sailing at Heron Lake

Heron Lake, a no-wake lake with motors restricted to trolling speed, is a great place for all sorts of sailors.

An Etchells glides along. Crews have to remain alert, because breezes can spring up quickly.

A brace of Sunfish enjoy fine sailing in Willow Creek Cove and the Narrows.

Youth groups frequently enjoy visits to the Heron Lake Marina.

Cruisers help each other avoid disasters such as running out of beer or dinner condiments.


After a good sail, some crews will seek out a quiet cove in which to anchor for the night. The northwest corner of Heron Lake is particularly quiet and suited to raft-ups and anchoring out.
