Vermont Bans Wake Sports on Lake Fairlee

Vermont just slapped a wake sports ban on Lake Fairlee and eleven other lakes, with strict new rules limiting where these high-energy boats can operate—starting June 11. Only lakes with enough deep, contiguous water meet the criteria, and Fairlee’s 460 acres just don’t cut it. Supporters say wake boats wreck safety, erode shores, and spread invasive species, while opponents call the rules unscientific and damaging to small businesses. One family still wake surfing since 2009 says they’re still figuring out what to do next. Enforcement falls to Vermont State Police, and now only 18 lakes out of 800 allow wake sports—making this one of the nation’s toughest wake sport restrictions.
