About the water
A reservoir with roughly 53 miles of shoreline used for wakeboarding, water skiing, and tubing, with boat ramps and a marina at Keyhole State Park. It sits near Devils Tower in the northeast corner of the state.
Wyoming wake-sport rules
Wyoming has no statewide wakesurfing-specific regulation. A statewide requirement mandates that anyone wake surfing (or riding a PWC) wear a life jacket, and many smaller waters carry boating/motor restrictions, but there are no wake-surf-specific distance, depth, or lake-size thresholds.
This rating classifies measured depth and surface area against published wake-sport guidance. It is not a safety clearance and not permission to ride: local no-wake zones, hours, and horsepower limits are set by the county, lake district, or land manager, and they take precedence. Lake measurements from Wyoming State Parks.

Wyoming has no statewide wakesurfing-specific regulation. A statewide requirement mandates that anyone wake surfing (or riding a PWC) wear a life jacket, and many smaller waters carry boating/motor restrictions, but there are no wake-surf-specific distance, depth, or lake-size thresholds. Individual lakes often add stricter local limits on top of the statewide rule — no-wake zones, operating hours, and horsepower caps are all common — so confirm with the local authority for Keyhole Reservoir.
