Bullhead Lake

A 360-acre lake, reaching 40 ft deep in Beltrami County, Minnesota — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Bullhead Lake sits in Beltrami County, Minnesota that covers about 360 acres and reaches roughly 40 ft at its deepest. 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. Its typical warm-weather window runs June–August, based on Open-Meteo 2019–2023 daily-high climatology.

Bullhead Lake appears here on the strength of its size and public access, not any reputation for surfing. Wake-boat regulation varies by state and by individual lake, so verify the Minnesota rules and the local ordinance first.
