Smith Lake

A 326-acre lake, reaching 29 ft deep in Sawyer County, Wisconsin — large enough for wake boating where local rules allow.

Reviewed by WakeSurfSpots Editorial Team · Updated

Located in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, Smith Lake is a public lake that covers about 326 acres and reaches roughly 29 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.

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 Wisconsin statewide rules and any lake-specific restrictions before riding.
