You Need to Try Sailing on Lake Lansing!

Lansing is somewhat land locked. We are fortunate to have some inland lakes in the area that people can enjoy year round. Have you ever tried sailing on a sailboat?

Some might think that you need a big body of water to be able to sail a boat. If you have a sailboat, wind and a body of water you're in business. While you may not be searching for treasure on a pirate ship, you can try something new. Try sailing on Lake Lansing in Haslett.

The MSU Sailing Center is located in Haslett at 5918 Shaw St #8433, Haslett, MI 48840. I discovered the sailing center last summer when I was driving around in Haslett. I grew up in St. Joe, it's a port town in southwest Michigan. Being on the lake was a part of my childhood and I learned how to sail when I was 10. We had a sailing school back home and went out on the lake everyday. Once I reached my teen years I was able to instruct sailing. Sailing is a lot of fun and I suggest that everyone try it at least once.

Here's what you can learn and expect at the MSU Sailing Center:

The Center offers quality instruction for both students and the general public. We offer classes in sailing, stand up paddleboarding, and kayaking. Come discover a lifelong sport that can be either exciting or relaxing but always fun and rewarding. Regardless of age, ability or limitation we offer programs for everyone.

If you are new to sailing, it's all good. The instructors will teach you how to sail and will be right there for you every step of the way. If you are a skilled, have at it on the lake for a fun afternoon. If sailing isn't your thing then try paddleboarding or kayaking. Don't forget that there are plenty of restaurants in the area and you can spend time at Lake Lansing Park.
