Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Lake Montello sits in Marquette County, Wisconsin that covers about 341 acres and reaches roughly 17 ft at its deepest. Being a smaller lake, any wake-boat use hinges on the local ordinance and how busy the water is.

No public access point is listed, so confirm how (and whether) you can legally launch.

Lake Montello 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.
