ONTARIOWAKEPARKS
The community and friendships developed on the water of Ontario’s
wake parks make them the places to be during long, hot summer
days. Less expensive andmore inclusive than riding behind a boat,
parks offer lessons, rentals, camps and pro coaching. Parks are
greener thanmotorboats and generate a much smaller wake with
less shoreline disturbance.
WHATWAKE PARK – BALA
The towering white pines of Lake Muskoka and laid back
atmosphere of WHATWake Park feel like summer camp for
shredders. Every Monday of the summer they hold a donation-
based, ladies-only night for all ages and skill levels with donations
going to breast cancer research.
THE RAIL YARD – MOUNT ALBERT/EAST GWILLIMBURY
Try out a wakeboard or a wakeskate at The Rail Yard’s 25-acre lake
located just 40minutes north of Toronto. Hit up their ladies nights
and work up to riding their bright yellow 20-metre “Little Foot” rail.
THE RANCHWAKE PARK – KETTLEBY
Get out of the city and onto the water asap for some turns (and
air) at The Ranch. The closest park to Toronto, their certified
coaches and “Reach your potential” mottomake The Ranch your
summer secret to progression. Sign up for the Sisterhood Sessions
girls-only wakeboard school.
