About the water
6,800-acre reservoir on the Wisconsin River gives plenty of space; less crowded than southern resort lakes.
Wisconsin wake-sport rules
Wisconsin has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law as of mid-2026; competing bills remain unenacted. Proposals include AB 1033 (200/300-foot setback, no depth limit; Assembly-passed) and SB 1024 (500-foot setback and 20-foot depth). In the absence of statewide rules, towns have adopted local wake-surf bans (e.g., Lake Waramaug-style ordinances and Waupaca/Long Lake actions), some of which are being litigated. Limits are currently local/waterbody-specific.
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.

No maximum-depth measurement is on record for Lake Dubay in the state agency data we use, so its depth factor is not scored. We do not estimate depth.
Lake Dubay has nutrient and algae measurements on record from state and federal monitoring. Water clarity is shown on the lake page. That is a separate question from wakesurf suitability: a lake can be excellent to ride and mediocre to swim in, or the reverse. See the full lake page for the readings.
