Access

Short walk |
From the twin cities (Saint Paul/Minneapolis) take Hwy 169 North. Shortly before you hit the lake turn right onto Hwy 27 East. Then turn left onto 47 North. A sign on 47 indicates the turn off. Just follow the road right to the water.
Extra information
Hunter's Point is a resort and respect of their land and patronage of their bar/grill will ensure that we can continue to sail from this great spot. Kite at your own risk but please respect the local swimmers, boaters, etc.
