About the water
Lake Minneola in Clermont, part of the Clermont Chain of Lakes, is a well-documented hub for wakeboarding and wakesurfing with a public boat ramp. Clermont is widely associated with year-round wakeboarding instruction.
Florida wake-sport rules
Florida has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. The FWC, with counties and municipalities, sets speed/wake zones under Fla. Stat. 327.46 (Idle Speed-No Wake and Slow Speed-Minimum Wake), and operators remain liable for damage from their wake. Any wake-surf-specific limits are local-zone driven, not statewide.
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.
