Hazards
Greenwood-named community candidate conflicts with Evanston's designated-launch rules. The City packet prohibits vessel launches from swimming beaches and permits non-motorized craft at Dempster; verify wingfoil classification, wear required PFD, and account for cold water, waves, rip current and offshore wind.
Parking & access
The City permits non-motorized/windsurf launches at Dempster Street, not arbitrary swimming beaches. The 2026 facility operates May 9-Oct 20, requires a season permit, and includes limited adjacent parking; confirm whether a wingfoil board qualifies before purchase: https://cityofevanston.org/departments/prcs/lakefront_beaches/boat_launches.php https://www.cityofevanston.org/Documents/Departments/Parks%20Recreation%20and%20Community%20Services/Lakefront%20and%20Beaches/2026%20Dempster%20St%20Launch%20Facility%20Packet.pdf?t=202603031437470
