About

This site has been put together by concerned citizens in an effort to provide information on enhanced wakes so those using lakes in Town of Dayton Waupaca, WI are aware of the safety and environmental impact that enhanced wakes bring to the area.

There will be no regulation at the state level for years.  Any regulation of enhanced wakes must be done at the local level.

Others that have information on enhanced wakes and the impact on safety, and the environment include 

Lakes at Stake - To keep our lakes protected from the threats of wake sports, we are advocating that, at a minimum, any watercraft designed to create an enhanced wake using a ballast and/or wave shaping technology, be required to operate:

- 500 feet or more from shorelines, docks, rafts, and any structure

- 500 feet or more from other boats and lake users

- In no less than 20 feet of water. 

- In addition, before entering a body of water, any watercraft with   a ballast system must be fully emptied and sanitized to prevent the transport of aquatic invasive species. 

Wisconsin Lakes - Wisconsin Lakes supports standards of keeping wakesports at least 700’ feet from shore and from other lake users and at 30’of depth or deeper. At best, however, a prohibition on lakes of a certain size (we support the 1500 acre proposal) could be a cleaner, more easily enforceable option that encompasses a number of other concerns.
