Vermont wake-sport rules
Vermont's Use of Public Waters wakeboat rule, effective April 15, 2024, confines wakesports mode to designated wakesports zones: areas at least 500 feet from shore, in water over 20 feet deep, at least 200 feet wide, within a contiguous lake area meeting the acreage threshold (the rule was adopted with a 50-acre zone requirement and has been the subject of subsequent updates toward a larger contiguous-acre standard). About 30 inland lakes qualify; cross-boundary waters like Lake Champlain are treated differently. It is the first comprehensive statewide wakeboat rule in the US.
