Huntington Lake Sailing
Steady afternoon winds make Huntington Lake a popular destination for sailors. Because of the lake's east-west orientation and the low opening on the western end, westerly winds generally pick up about mid-morning in the summer and continue until late afternoon. The strongest gusts are usually encountered at the east end of the lake.
The Fresno Yacht Club
The Fresno Yacht Club's main sailing venues are Huntington Lake and Millerton Lake. Races are held at Huntington Lake during the summer. Every year they hold their High Sierra Regatta at Huntington Lake, with both centerboard and keel boat classes. The Fresno Yacht Club is open to new members. Fresno Yacht Club
