Geat places to Wakeboard in Michigan

If your looking for a beautiful place to wakeboard in the summer months in michigan, the Au sable river is the perfect place to go. The Au sable river looks as if it is way up in caada surrounded by forest and rolling hills. The river is so wide it looks as if it were a lake. The water is like glass every morning and its like boarding on butter. Below is a pic of the river up towards Cook dam.



The Au sable river averages a depth of about 20 to 30 feet and gets much deeper in many other parts. The river does not contain a lot of boat traffic but does have a few kayaks so that is something to look out for. The Au sable river used to be used as a logging transport back in the day, so there are a number of logs stumps to watch out for but that is way past the Cook dam way up river. Here is a pic of the Cook dam for reference of where you are at the correct spot when you show up.


This picture is taken from the boat launch site, the dam will be directly to your right. Ther current is not very strong just because there is so much water. If you stop your boat in the middle of the river you will not notice any current just because of the size of the river. The Au sable is a very low key quiet place and if is paradise for wakeboarding. I highly reccomend going here if your looking to try out your new CWB board and to get to know your board a little without any outher interuptions or waves.
