Ennis Lake is a shallow inland lake in southwestern Montana offering a protected freshwater kitesurfing environment. Located at moderate elevation, the lake features consistently calm conditions with minimal wave exposure, making it suitable for flatwater freestyle and learning. The spot experiences very low wind reliability at only 15.4%, with average winds of 8.2 knots, indicating sessions require careful weather monitoring and patience. Best conditions occur with north or south winds providing side-shore flow across the water body. Water temperatures averaging 7.5°C necessitate thermal protection year-round. The lake's flatwater characteristics eliminate wave riding but provide ideal conditions for progression in board control and trick development. Visibility of underwater hazards may be limited, requiring caution in unfamiliar areas. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calm water practice and riders transitioning to new skills. Sessions are weather-dependent given low wind consistency; visiting during spring and autumn months typically offers improved wind patterns. The sheltered nature makes it valuable for skill development despite limited intensity.
