Hazards

Lake Andrea varies from about 4 to 45 feet and is shared with swimmers, anglers and licensed electric-motor craft. Launching is prohibited at the beach, while windsurfing requires a special pass; confirm wingfoil classification, use the north launch/allowed shore, and verify foil depth and submerged contours.

Parking & access

Official Lake Andrea page: beach/park parking requires a seasonal or daily park pass unless covered by RecPlex membership; paved/gravel lots are included. Windsurfing also requires a separate seasonal pass; confirm how wingfoiling is classified: https://www.pleasantprairiewi.gov/services/parks_and_recreation/lake_andrea_beach
