About the water
A large, broad lake at Utah Lake State Park that supports motorized boating and water sports with multiple ramps and a marina. Its wide open water gives boats room, with calmer days favored for wake activities.
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.

Utah Lake carries a LakeQuality water-quality grade of F, computed from EPA and state monitoring data — Secchi clarity, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a. That is a separate question from wakesurf suitability: a lake can be excellent to ride and mediocre to swim in, or the reverse. See the full lake page for the grade breakdown.
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. Individual lakes often add stricter local limits on top of the statewide rule — no-wake zones, operating hours, and horsepower caps are all common — so confirm with the local authority for Utah Lake.
