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.
