Wake Nation

Wake Nation is Houston's only full-scale cable wakeboarding park and one of only 10 such parks in the country. Wake Nation, along with its 12-acre lake, is equipped with a full pro shop, equipment rental shop, concessions area, huge outdoor observation deck, and other amenities.

This attraction boasts 35-foot steel towers carrying a unique overhead cable system enabling riders to wakeboard, water skate, water ski, and kneeboard without a boat around the lake. For novice riders, a practice pond is available for an "easy start" ride. For the more experience riders, the lake is outfitted with custom-built jumps, grind rails, and sliders. With up to six people on the lake at the same time, riders are pulled up to speeds of 18-20 mph.

You must be five years of age or older to ride and are required to wear a Coast Guard Approved life vest and helmet, which can be rented at Wake Nation. This is a pay as you go facility, $25 for 2 hours, $30 for 3 hours, and $35 for a day pass.
