Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Tait Lake sits in Cook County, Minnesota that covers about 355 acres and reaches roughly 15 ft at its deepest. Being a smaller lake, any wake-boat use hinges on the local ordinance and how busy the water is.

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

Tait 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.
