Muskegon Lake is a 4,150-acre lake at the mouth of the Muskegon River, forming a broad harbor about 2.5 miles wide and 5.5 miles long on Lake Michigan's eastern shore.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Muskegon Lake, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
Downtown Muskegon sits on the south shore, and the channel between Muskegon State Park and Pere Marquette Park leads straight out to Lake Michigan.

- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires an observer besides the driver, and the person being towed must wear a life jacket. Towing isn't allowed from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
- Jet skis can't be operated between sunset and 8 a.m., must stay at slow-no-wake speed within 200 feet of a Great Lakes shoreline, and the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver.
- Stay at slow-no-wake speed within 100 feet of docks, rafts, swimming areas, moored boats and people in the water, and in shallow water near shore. Many inland lakes also have local slow-no-wake hours, so follow the posted rules at the launch.
