Scandinavian Lake

A 417-acre lake, reaching 49 ft deep in Pope County, Minnesota — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Scandinavian Lake is a public lake in Pope County, Minnesota that covers about 417 acres and reaches roughly 49 ft at its deepest. It is on the smaller side, so usable wake-boat water depends heavily on local rules and traffic.

There is at least one public access point on record.

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.
