Beaver Dam Lake

A 1,163-acre reservoir, reaching 106 ft deep in Barron County, Wisconsin — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Beaver Dam Lake sits in Barron County, Wisconsin that covers about 1,163 acres and reaches roughly 106 ft at its deepest. That surface area is generous enough to fit a wake-boat setup where local rules allow.

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.

Beaver Dam 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 Wisconsin rules and the local ordinance first.
