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. Minnesota sets statewide wake-boat rules, and individual lakes routinely add no-wake zones, hours, or horsepower limits. Check the Minnesota rules page and the local ordinance before you launch.
