The deepest natural inland lake in Wisconsin is the latest to take up the issue of wake boating.
A wake boating advisory has been issued by the municipalities that surround Green Lake.
Wake boats have special tanks allowing them to create larger wakes than other boats. The advisory asks wake boaters to operate in wake mode in a minimum depth of 40 feet of water and stay at least 700 feet from shore.
According to the DNR, Green Lake has a maximum depth of roughly 236 feet.
The recommended area is outlined on a map from the Green Lake Association. This leaves 60% of the lake available for wake surfing.
The advisory comes following a recent study by the University of Minnesota, which looked at how wake surfing can kick up lake sediment, erode shorelines and potentially transport invasive species.
