Buckskin Lake

A 642-acre lake, reaching 22 ft deep in Oneida County, Wisconsin — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Buckskin Lake sits in Oneida County, Wisconsin that covers about 642 acres and reaches roughly 22 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.

Buckskin 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.
