Silver lake has a country club. I heard the water is really shallow though. Idk.

Wake surfing in these smaller lakes is not a good idea. Particularly if they are shallow and narrow in spots. The ballast used to make a surf wake carries all the way to shore and dissipates slowly. I lived on a 400 acre lake that was shaped more narrow with big open areas. I never filled my ballast tanks and surfed until we built on a larger lake. Much larger at 5,900 acres with areas near 30' deep. That area and depth is needed to mitigate any damage to the lake bottom and shoreline.
