Colorado wake-sport rules
Colorado has no statewide wakesurfing-specific regulation. The state requires mandatory decontamination for ballasted/wake boats to prevent aquatic invasive species, and individual State Wildlife Areas and parks set their own wake or wakeless rules (e.g., whitewater-wake prohibitions at some reservoirs). No statewide wake-surf distance/depth/acreage rule exists.
