Little Sand Lake

A 353-acre lake, reaching 19 ft deep in Itasca County, Minnesota — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Little Sand Lake sits in Itasca County, Minnesota that covers about 353 acres and reaches roughly 19 ft at its deepest. It is on the smaller side, so usable wake-boat water depends heavily on local rules and traffic.

Public access is listed for the lake. Its typical warm-weather window runs June–August, based on Open-Meteo 2019–2023 daily-high climatology.

Little Sand 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.
