About the water

Louis Lake East Central Basin; Waucedah Township covers roughly 230 acres, giving it room for a wake-boat setup when conditions cooperate. Public access varies — confirm a launch before you go. Michigan sets statewide wakesurf rules, and individual lakes often add no-wake zones, hours, or horsepower limits — check the Michigan rules page and the local ordinance before launching.

Michigan wake-sport rules

Michigan has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. HB 5532 (introduced Feb 2024) would require wake-sport-mode operation 500+ feet from shore/dock and in 20+ feet of water, but it has not been enacted; a 2023 DNR report favored education and voluntary best practices over regulation. Wake-surf limits remain set at the local/waterbody level.
