The pilot arrived at the lake to pick up two passengers and their equipment. At the lodge, a third person asked to leave on the same flight.
After loading the three passengers and their equipment aboard the float-equipped aircraft, the pilot taxied to a position abeam the dock to the east, and began the cross-wind take-off run. As soon as the aircraft became airborne, the pilot began a left turn at low altitude between an island and the shoreline. The aircraft emerged from behind the island in a steep, skidding, left-hand turn just above the water and struck trees along the west shore of the lake. The aircraft sank about 20 feet from shore and came to rest upright in approximately 30 feet of water. One passenger was able to exit the aircraft and swim to shore. The pilot and the other two passengers did not survive.
The Board determined that the pilot began the take-off run from a position on the lake which did not allow sufficient distance for the take-off and climb-out
