Level:Beginner
Wind direction:NW

Oak Grove park is home to the Grapevine crew and an excellent beginner location for north fronts when they first come in and haven't turned N.

Warning:None - Oak Grove has a really freindly, shallow and easy launch and landing a good 100ft downwind. Stay close to shore.

Oak Grove is winter central for Grapevine and Dallas alike. There was only 1 kite out in winds gusting over 40 and 5 foot swell from the NW fetch the biggest day I've seen there.

This is a good place to launch and land alone without assitance from a local because if there is no one sitting on the shore downwind you can drop your kite on the safety. If there is someone you ask them to move for a couple minutes and they will usually be happy to watch from a distance. Drifting down to the Last Resort landing and dropping your kite anywhere along the shore to the SE works great. There is a path along the shore that you can use to walk back up to the launch very easilly.
