CJ Brown Reservoir is an inland freshwater lake in Ohio formed by damming. The main riding area appears to be on the eastern shore near the dam structure, with the water body extending westward. The reservoir offers protected conditions typical of dammed impoundments, with relatively shallow water in many areas and clear boundaries defined by surrounding agricultural land and forested ridges.
The spot suits beginner to intermediate riders due to its enclosed nature and limited fetch, which restricts wave development. Wind conditions are modest, with average winds of 6.5 knots and low reliability (4.8%), making this a marginal location for kitesurfing. Side-shore wind from the east or west would be preferable, with easterly winds likely more favorable given the western water expanse.
Key considerations include navigating around the dam infrastructure, remaining aware of depth variations, and checking local regulations regarding water access and kite sports. The agricultural setting and moderate temperatures suggest seasonal wind patterns tied to regional weather systems. This reservoir is best suited for riders seeking calm, sheltered practice conditions rather than dynamic wave or wind scenarios.
