Lake Calhoun is the biggest lake in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and part of the city's Chain of Lakes. Surrounded by city park land and circled by bike and walking trails, it is popular for many outdoor activities. The lake has an area of 401 acres (1.62 km2) and a maximum depth of 87 feet (27 m). It is also home for Keelboat Sailing lessons, hosting the Calhoun Yacht Club and the Calhoun Sailing School. The lake is popular for sailing races, canoeing, kayaking and windsurfing.

Dear Lake Calhoun Keelboaters
With the rain and unusually warm weather it won't be long before the ice on Calhoun will bid a fond farewell and get sailors thinking about warm summer days on the lake.
We feel that the addition of the keel boaters was a great boost for the Calhoun Yacht Club and we thank you for your participation--we hope you had fun.
We were happy to see the number of boats that turned out for racing on Saturday mornings and we would love to see your ranks grow this summer.
We have scheduled three race series for keel boats that will run throughout the summer, each of which will include a traveling trophy. We've titled them the "Leadbelly," the “Partyboat,” and the “Calhoun Handicap” series. In addition, we plan to expand the number of social activities that will make you feel more attached to the club.
