experience

At Lake 38, we welcome everyone to come spend the day with us at the lake. Unlike other extreme sports, waterskiing is a chill, family friendly, stress-free experience. With no tickets required, you can pull your car right up to the water’s edge to be close to the action.

The pro tournament is bringing the best skiiers in the world right to Gadsden County. You do not want to miss this! Come spend an hour or a whole afternoon with us!
