Upper Gull Lake

A 422-acre lake, reaching 54 ft deep in Cass County, Minnesota — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Upper Gull Lake sits in Cass County, Minnesota that covers about 422 acres and reaches roughly 54 ft at its deepest. It is on the smaller side, so usable wake-boat water depends heavily on local rules and traffic.

No public access point is listed, so confirm how (and whether) you can legally launch. Its typical warm-weather window runs June–August, based on Open-Meteo 2019–2023 daily-high climatology.

Upper Gull 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.
