I skied Paw Paw Lake in Waterveliet MI a bit in the early 70s. My wife's friend still has a cottage there. I haven't been back in years but remember it as pretty small and not usually ripped up. One end past the narrow point is shallow and weedy but the rest is nice. This is also the lake my Mustang lived on during this time frame and I remember it getting a lot of use. PO still lives in the same house there but his skiing sons are gone.

Can ski on most of the 1,100 miles Larry. If the wind is blowing the wrong way, keep driving till you find a slough wind protected. Very unique. Eddie, Hollywood, Seb, Adam D, Raindog, Keith, have all visited. I think they will attest. We like to say you can always find flat water in the Delta, which is not entirely accurate, but pretty close. BKH

Brian,
I've looked up your setting before and have tried to understand, what constitutes the delta, all of that low lying land to the NE,E and SE of you? Where do you ski? Can you ski on all of those channels (sloughs?) or do you have to make your way to the more lake-like features. I guess I hear Roy refer to skiing on "sloughs" and his pics/vids suggest they are pretty narrow. |

Hey Larry, you want to map out the California Delta? I think it measure about 1,100 miles in total length.

Slalom course is essentially right after the turn on the red line. Blue line is a longer run but its harder to find it flat.
You can see from the picture what the problem is in the middle of the lake on the weekends

Figured out how to copy a pic of where we ski at. South Wilmington Firemans Beach Club in South Wilmington, Illinois
 [/IMG]We have a couple good runs at our disposal. The first east to west run on the north side is 4100 ft. from our dock. Then the north to south run on the west side is 2900 ft. and then a little run w to e to where we can turn around. No slalom course on the property, but we set up a portable when we can. Its an old strip mine, so there are high bluffs on all sides of the runs, creating pretty calm conditions almost all the time! We make it up there every weekend after work and enjoy it very much. |

What a great thread Larry. Look at those guns Alan
 I want to play too.......... This is our favourite ski run we call it the 1K straight. Shame Adam will not get to use it we need at least 8% capacity to run. Dam is down to 6.5% at the moment still plenty of water but getting boat in and out is a challenge. Box text does not come out thought I had this Google Earth figured out. 3642 Feet 1.1 Kilometres

Cool.
If need be, two groups can ski on Lake Orange one from the big cove near the dam to the dam, and one north of the big cove to the north end of the lake. |

Here's a picture of yours truly to show how tight it was up there. That picture is taken from our dock, it was barely wide enough to slalom. If you crashed big on an outside cut you could very well end up in your neighbors yard. Just beyond that it closed up more and then came "The Turnaround". A few years on that lake were some of the best years of my life.

Hmm never heard it called that but that's our lake. I rented a cottage way up in the top left corner of that picture for a couple of years. That cove was just big enough to make a dogleg and run back down the lake. We sent a few skiers into the woods more than once on that end. The big barefoot run would be from that cove all the way around the edges of the pond and around both islands. One lap was ok but after that the place got so chopped up you had your own rollers coming from every direction. |

If your still looking up lakes, we used to ski on the Illinois river in Morris. Ran into Alan and Dana a couple times but it's been a while since we've been there. Now we ski at The South Wilmington Firemans Beach Club in South Wilmington Illinois. The GE view is pretty cool. Couple nice long straights with high banking to protect from wind.

Yeah, it is. Weekends are obviously worthless, except early AM. Week nites, because the ramp is at the southern tip, and the lake is bigger, the south lake gets messy. (tubers, and the jet skis used to swarm the ramp like a beehive...showing off their really cool turns and nose plants) The north one would stay not bad, and it had four possible runs, so you could usually do ok. A couple views: Looking down the 4867 shoreline  The north shore of the southern lake  looking up the 4867 stretch from the ramp

Mashpee was a great weekend trip for us. Now I should have mentioned to go to the North side of the bridge Larry. The side you mapped was not accessible for boating. And it was always flat calm, argh.

Larry, Thanks again but you missed it. My shop and house is directly east of the one you pictured. First the shop then just east the house. To the south of the shop is the bunk house and wood shed. I'm lucky to have two lake fronts (not according to the tax collector! ) so depending on the wind direction, I can use ether Medicine or Spirit lake.
