About the water
Saint Croix Flowage Lake covers roughly 1,913 acres, giving it room for a wake-boat setup when conditions cooperate. Public access varies — confirm a launch before you go. Wisconsin sets statewide wakesurf rules, and individual lakes often add no-wake zones, hours, or horsepower limits — check the Wisconsin rules page and the local ordinance before launching.
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.
