Is it possible to launch a ski at Grayton State Park, and pull a wakeboarder in Western Lake? If the answer is no, does anyone know a place to do that within say 40 miles? I live in Sandestin for whatever that's worth. Thanks!

Nope. Go to Hogtown Bayou Park on 393 or Pilcher Park at 331 bridge. The bay will give you more room and safer.

Why not Baytowne Marina in Sandestin?

Jim I don't think the water is deep enough off Sandestin to pull someone where it would be safe during a fall.

I think they meant just to launch.

Also, jet skis are illegal within 500 feet of shore in the Gulf in Walton county along with certain areas of the river and bay as well.

Doesn’t Baytown Marina have a boat ramp for residents?
There is also Legion Park boat ramp two miles west.

Jim you inspired me to drive down to the marina and talk to them. Turns out the though not too deep, one could pull a wakeboard off Sandestin. Also someone else piped in they have friends that board in Hogtown, thanks for the input.

Bayous can be shallow in spots and are idle speed only. I'd go out into the bay.
