Elmwood Lake

A 224-acre reservoir in Sullivan County, Missouri — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Located in Sullivan County, Missouri, Elmwood Lake is a public lake that covers about 224 acres. 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–September, based on Open-Meteo 2019–2023 daily-high climatology.

Because this entry comes from public lake data rather than rider reports, treat it as a size-and-access reference, not a recommendation. Confirm the current Missouri statewide rules and any lake-specific restrictions before riding.
