Overview

Large open area at the edge of the lake, part of which is located in the municipality of Doussard and the other in the Bout du Lac reserve (part for which access is authorized by the ASTER Association). Be aware that this area is also used for paragliding landings by flight schools.
The launch area is located between the Doussard port and the pebble shoreline that marks the entrance to the reserve. You must not enter the reserve area, either on foot or while navigating. Nevertheless, it is tolerated that riders can walk with their kite up to the most advanced point of pebbles in order to immediately clear the shore and ride upwind more easily.
Once on the water, please do not approach the reserve area (reeds).

The site is open all year except during July and August when the Doussard beach is heavily frequented by summer visitors.
