Wakes • Paddle Spots

Minnesota has more than 10,000 lakes. Wakes helps you explore every one.

Pan a live map of thousands of lakes across the state, then tap any lake for the full picture — its depth, water quality, fish, amenities, and current weather. When you're ready to get on the water, Paddle Mode turns your phone into a real-time companion that tracks your route and shows the depth right beneath you.

EXPLORE THE MAP Browse thousands of Minnesota lakes on a fast, fluid map. Lakes cluster when you zoom out and reveal their true shorelines as you zoom in. Search by name, or filter by distance, water clarity, fish species, and amenities to find exactly the water you're looking for.

DIVE INTO EVERY LAKE Open any lake to see what matters: current weather and conditions, water quality and clarity, fish species and biology, size and shape, and the amenities along the shore — boat launches, beaches, parks, and more.

SEE THE BOTTOM — BATHYMETRY IN 2D & 3D Read depth contours on a flat map, or tilt into a fully interactive 3D model of the lake bottom. Know the shallows, drop-offs, and deep holes before you go.

GET A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW Aerial drone video and photos give you a true sense of a lake before you ever leave the dock.

PADDLE MODE A full-screen, on-the-water experience built for kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards. Record your GPS track, watch the depth beneath your hull update live from bathymetry, and see your watercraft right on the map. Save every paddle to look back on.

WEATHER BUILT FOR THE WATER Current conditions plus a detailed wind forecast — the stuff that actually matters when you're heading out — powered by Apple Weather.

Whether you're chasing fish, planning a paddle, or just exploring, Wakes puts Minnesota's lakes in your pocket.
