Visitors who have always wanted to learn how to skim across the water on a pair of skis couldn't find a better place to do it than at McGinnis Waterski, a family business situated by the calm waters of Butterfly Lake. The company promotes a learning program that helps students learn the techniques quickly and safely. For beginners, lessons include preliminary training on an extension boom on the side of the boat, and graduated training on short and long ropes.
Advanced lessons are offered for slalom skiing, where guests learn proper position, rhythm, and timing for crossing the wakes, as well as for wakeboarding, where students learn the basics and a couple of easy tricks. The lake is owned by McGinnis Waterski, so visitors are assured that no other boat traffic will disturb their lessons. And with a water temperature that never dips below seventy degrees, Butterfly Lake makes for a perfect place to ski year round.
