Mccullough Lake

A 221-acre lake, reaching 27 ft deep in Vilas County, Wisconsin — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Mccullough Lake is a public lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin that covers about 221 acres and reaches roughly 27 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.

This listing is drawn from state lake records — it reflects size and access, not a track record as a wakesurf venue. Wisconsin sets statewide wake-boat rules, and individual lakes routinely add no-wake zones, hours, or horsepower limits. Check the Wisconsin rules page and the local ordinance before you launch.
