About the water
Moses Lake is listed among popular motorboat-friendly lakes in Washington State and is a recreation focus for Grant County. Its open water supports power boating and towed watersports.
Washington wake-sport rules
Washington has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. Statewide rules require reducing to no-wake speed when approaching a person on a surfboard or others in the water and bar towed watersports one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset, but wake-surf setbacks are addressed locally (e.g., advocacy and proposed restrictions on Lake Sammamish). Local variation in boating rules is authorized by waterbody.
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.
