O'leary Lake is a public lake in St. Louis County, Minnesota that covers about 202 acres and reaches roughly 52 ft at its deepest. Being a smaller lake, any wake-boat use hinges on the local ordinance and how busy the water is.

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.
