Wakeboating and Wakesports in Vermont

Beginning on April 15, 2024, the wakeboats rule takes effect under Vermont’s Use of Public Waters (UPW) Rules. The Wakeboat Rule regulates wakeboating and wakesports on Vermont’s inland lakes. They were developed to avoid and resolve recreational conflicts, to protect normal or designated uses on all lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, and to ensure that natural resource values of public waters are fully protected.
