Waldo Lake is a great spot. Here's a video from sailing there last summer: Montgomery 15 Sailing on Waldo Lake | | | | | | | | | | | Montgomery 15 Sailing on Waldo Lake This video is of sailing our Montgomery 15 sailboat on Waldo Lake, Oregon, in July 2015.

A paddler/sailor/rower paradise, with boat-in camping various places around the lake and three USFS campgrounds all with ramps and docks on the east side, (two just closed for the season, one still open another week or so). You can see it on google maps satellite view/google earth...Waldo Lake, OR. We took advantage of a handful of days of late summer heat wave to have 70's in the day and high 40's at night up there at around 5000 ft. Glassy in the AM & early afternoon, but some very nice sailing from about 2:30 on to suppertime. I kayak camped some years ago there and definitely wanted to get Pajarita in the water there this season...just in time! Overall with that wind pattern a better lake for sail-row camp cruisers, or something like my friend Keith's Hobie Adventure Island tri with both the sail & pedal drive options (he was able to tow me in the doldrums, albeit rather slowly). And, I think it can be breezy all day sometimes, this was just what we had for this trip. An early morning kayaker reported a bout of whitecaps on his way back to the campground at something like 9 AM the second day. Will post a few pics when I get them off the camera. Should have taken some of my anchor placements, you can see the bottom and everything on it very clearly 30+ feet down. cheers, John S.
