My wife and I are planning a sailing road trip starting in California and heading east, What are some good places to sail? I want to make a Google map of the best sailing lakes based on your suggestions.

Head north to Oregon. High Cascade Lakes, and the Gorge!

The Atlantic. Keep heading East, can't miss it.
Seriously, how far East are you going?

Lake Mohave, NV
Dillon Lake, CO (just for the scenery)
Lake McConaughy, NE
Anywhere on the MS Gulf Coast or FL panhandle - Ocean Springs YC and Ft. Walton Beach especially
Northern IN (Gary) - seriously, check out Dunes National Seashore
West coast of MI (Lake Michigan) - St. Joseph, South Haven, Muskegon, Ludington
North coast of Lake Erie (in Canada - seriously)
Jersey Shore (south of Atlantic City)
East coast of FL - pretty much anywhere
Southern Chesapeake Bay
Sebago Lake, ME

And yeah, I've sailed in all those places (except Dillon).

Hey I have to say this one;

ISLA VERDE ( Carolina ) PUERTO RICOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know is far, but worth the trip !!!!!

If you ever come down, we`ll let you ride our 16 !!!!!!

OK, I made a Google map of many of the suggestions and added some of my own. I also shared it and allowed anyone to add places and descriptions.

Open the map, mark you favorite place and tells us all about it.
I've shared a map with you called Sailing Lakes and Places:

Someone already put up a Google map with favorite sailing pin locations like that before, I know I put my 3 favorite spots on it. I can't find it right now though.

Surprised to see Mohave at the top of your list ? !!
I have kite-boarded at that lake for 7 years now ;
it's Hot (113 in the shade), it's Dry as a desert ( it Is in a desert),
6-mile beach is a crowded nightmare on weekends ...
but that lake Does have wind ((lots of it)) and all the carp are dead !!

Around the Apostle Islands on Lake Superiors is still one of my favorite places to sail.
