Starting Point

Description
Getting There
This starting point is completely unmarked and can be difficult to find.
To get to the clearing near the starting point, tap the Take Me There! button and use Google Maps to navigate you there.
Just before you arrive there, you'll see small green address sign with the number 204 on it.
Then, once you reach that clearing, veer right and head into the field (towards the lake). Do not veer left on the road towards private property!
Park in the field, and launch at the lake.
There is a bit of a hill from the clearing down towards the lake, so launching from here is a bit of a challenge.
Note: You'll need a high clearance 4x4 vehicle to get to this starting point.
