New Indiana Law restricts wake boarding/surfing activities

Indiana House Bill 1062 (2026), passed as Public Law 154 on March 12.  In an effort to protect the shoreline and bottom structure of Indiana’s lakes this law restricts wake boarding and wake surfing on Indiana public freshwater lakes. It explicitly prohibits these activities between sunset and sunrise and bans wake boarding and wake surfing on lakes with 10 MPH speed limits, effective July 1, 2026. The law defines these activities and sets penalties for violations.
