Roberts Creek Lake

A 296-acre reservoir in Marion County, Iowa — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Roberts Creek Lake is a public lake in Marion County, Iowa that covers about 296 acres. Being a smaller lake, any wake-boat use hinges on the local ordinance and how busy the water is.

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

This listing is drawn from state lake records — it reflects size and access, not a track record as a wakesurf venue. Iowa sets statewide wake-boat rules, and individual lakes routinely add no-wake zones, hours, or horsepower limits. Check the Iowa rules page and the local ordinance before you launch.
