Fireant is named for, you guessed it, although in that case the entire metroplex should be called Fireant Hill. 4 kites in the air on a windy day is the norm

It is in Garland off Zion Rd and I-30 it's our original nesting spot and where we learned to go upwind.

Warning: This is the only place windsurfers launch and you will be launching upwind. Do not go nukin downwind here if there are lots of windsurfers out.

This is a good place to launch and land alone without assitance from a local if you watchout for wind shadows from the trees and the windsurfers. Drifting down to the Last Resort landing and dropping your kite well short of the shore homes is a good way to ride here. The shore line is really shallow near the Last Resort but there are large beds of weeds growing under the surface there. Beware of the Hydrilla attacking your lines.
