Description
Minneapolis Skyline Lake Calhoun Sailing
This location is one of the most iconic in the city of Minneapolis. It is beautiful day or night, summer or winter.
Lake Calhoun, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a popular destination for sailing enthusiasts. However, it's important to note that in 2018, the lake was officially renamed to Bde Maka Ska, which is its original Dakota name, though the surrounding parkland is still commonly referred to as the Lake Calhoun area.
Sailing on Lake Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska offers a picturesque setting with beautiful views of the Minneapolis skyline. There are several options for accessing sailing opportunities on the lake:
Calhoun Yacht Club: The Calhoun Yacht Club, located on the southwest corner of the lake, offers sailing programs, boat rentals, and sailing instruction for both adults and youth. They have a fleet of sailboats available for members and guests.
Lake Calhoun Sailing School: This organization provides sailing lessons for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced sailors. They offer a variety of classes, including youth camps, adult group lessons, and private instruction.
Boat Rentals: Several boat rental companies operate on Lake Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska, offering sailboats for hourly or daily rental. This can be a convenient option for those who want to enjoy sailing without the commitment of membership or lessons.
Community Sailing Center: There might be a community sailing center operating on or near the lake that offers access to sailing for individuals who may not have their own boats. These centers often provide affordable access to sailing through memberships or rentals.
Before heading out for a sail, it's essential to check the local weather forecast and familiarize yourself with any regulations or guidelines set by the sailing organizations or local authorities. Additionally, make sure to prioritize safety by wearing appropriate gear and following best practices while on the water.
