It’s free to enter, great food and beverages will be provided at no cost, and the racing and camaraderie promise to be terrific. Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions will be posted on www.lowisa.org.

Cruise Week For those traveling to Lake of the Woods for LOWISA and want to extend their time on the lake, Cruise Week will be taking place from July 23rd to July 30th.
