Horse Thief Reservoir is an inland lake in Kansas with a primary eastern shoreline facing the water body. The reservoir features a constructed dam on its eastern side with visible inlet structures. The surrounding landscape is predominantly agricultural with gentle rolling terrain, providing limited wind acceleration. The water body is relatively confined, creating moderate fetch distances. With an average wind speed of only 9.5 knots and reliability of 21.5%, this spot experiences inconsistent conditions typical of inland reservoirs. Best wind direction is from the north, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the eastern shoreline. The calm water and protected nature make this suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking practice in light winds. Key considerations include the low wind frequency requiring patience, potential wind turbulence from surrounding landforms, and the need to avoid dam infrastructure. The spot is most viable during spring and early summer when regional wind patterns are more favorable.
