Pleasant Creek Lake

A 410-acre reservoir in Linn County, Iowa — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Located in Linn County, Iowa, Pleasant Creek Lake is a public lake that covers about 410 acres. It is on the smaller side, so usable wake-boat water depends heavily on local rules and traffic.

No public access point is listed, so confirm how (and whether) you can legally launch.

Because this entry comes from public lake data rather than rider reports, treat it as a size-and-access reference, not a recommendation. Confirm the current Iowa statewide rules and any lake-specific restrictions before riding.
