Where are the 5 best Winterkite playground in Ontario?


Top 5 best Winterkite playground in Ontario?


To all Kites enthusiast, I would like to get a poll of nice places to snowkite in Ontario for this coming Winter either a farm, empty land or frozen lake...the best timing to kite, detailed description, amenities if any and associated local restriction if there is any....to start, I would like to suggest our lake, Quinte Bay, Belleville...solid ice on months of Jan-March from Shannonville to Trenton....the reason I tried this kite sports and fell in love...now, addicted to fly every time it's windy.

Why I'm endorsing this lake to be one of the best kiting place?

First :thumbup:, aside from being a popular ice fishing ground...its also popular to snowmobilers and quad riders which means its safe to play here...

Second :thumbup:, its safe to park your vehicle with plenty parking at George St. South public boat launch, Herchimer St. South public boat launch and Meyers Pier Marina and has public washrooms with running water...

Third :thumbup:, it has free WiFi...not sure on winter because it was just installed this summer till as of today...

Fourth :thumbup:, close to gas stations...has tax-free gas stations in Shannonville (Mohawk land) the cheapest in Ontario....

Fifth:thumbup:, close to groceries like Food basics and Independent store...and Timmies/Mcdonalds at Herchimer St. South boat launch....

Sixth:thumbup:, close to eat-all you can Buffet Restaurants: Ajisai Japanese Buffet beside Petro Canada and Timmy's ($10.99 lunch...my favorite for the past 3 yrs...now the price went up a dollar)....Hibachi Buffet Restaurant, for $20 dinner cost, you can eat T-bone and Sirloin steaks as much as you can on weekends nights only (Fri-Sun) aside from sashimi/sushi bar and regular Canadian-Chinese food...Buffet Garden Restaurant with regular Chinese-Jap-Canadian food....those are my top 3 buffet restaurants...other Restaurants are common to all areas and Malls and as usual, Costly to eat to get bloated...lol..:lol:

So now you know my playground...if feeling adventurous and has budget cash...just drop by anytime windy enough to fly...And have a Zero Emission Fun!!!:saint::D

My favorit place (so far) is North Bay. Good access, huge area and seems to have a healthy kiter community from what I've seen.

Food situation, not sure. Found a killer sandwich place but can't say I looked much beyond that. If I lived where you ride I would dress out at about 300lbs.

:D
