About the water
Two boat ramps with trailer parking launch vessels for water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, and fishing. Its generally calmer atmosphere also suits paddleboarding and swimming.
Utah wake-sport rules
Utah has no statewide wakesurfing-specific distance/depth/acreage rule. Wake surfing is legal; general rules prohibit towing a person in a non-standing position within 20 feet of the vessel, and ballasted boats are subject to aquatic-invasive-species decontamination. Any wake-surf limits are waterbody-specific, 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. Lake measurements from Utah State Parks.
