thats cool its a big lake and fairly shallow for its size so if the wind blows its rough. I dont think there are many people who ride around here.

Yea i heard it can get real choppy... I moslty go down to cumberland, dale hallow, or norris lake, and every now and then up to brookville.. Its not a short drive, but we normally make a long weekned or something, and it works out nice

I used to ride on Erie. It always seemed so strange to me while pulling a rider. I'd want to turn around but you actually dont have to. Basically, we'd ride in a straight line almost to Canada. Not really but it seemed like an eternity. When it was real rough with 5 footers some crazy silly friends of mine would use the chop like kickers. People surf that lake too www.live2surf.com
