What is Wake Surfing?

Wake surfing is a water sport where a rider trails behind a specially designed boat, riding the boat’s wake without being directly attached to it once up. Unlike wakeboarding, wake surfers drop the tow rope once they get going and use the wave created by the boat to surf continuously.

It’s a sport that’s easy to pick up but hard to put down. The ride is smooth, low-impact, and incredibly fun. No wonder wake surfing has quickly become one of the most popular activities on Muskoka's lakes.

Why Muskoka is Perfect for Wake Surfing

Muskoka is home to some of the most beautiful and calm freshwater lakes in Canada, including Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Joseph. These lakes offer:

• Smooth water conditions ideal for creating long, clean wakes

• Breathtaking backdrops with granite cliffs, pine forests, and charming cottages

• Wide open spaces for safe and uninterrupted surfing

• Easy access from Toronto and other major cities

Plus, with a vibrant cottage culture and friendly community, the Muskoka experience is as much about the people and place as it is about the sport.
