H  ow does Lake Carlyle sustain itself selling  steady wind and waves to windsurf sailors for free?   VOLUME! -26,000 acres to be exact. Does size matter?  With up to 8+ miles of fetch and 3+ mile reaches, the answer is YES.  Lake Carlyle offers some of the best windsurfing in Illinois, and being located below Route 70, arguably the best windsurfing lake in Dixie.
