My family and I just had the pleasure of spending Saturday and Sunday of Labor day weekend partaking in the family camp they have to offer. It was truly an incredible experience and we will for sure be re-booking again next year. Steve(owner), Jordan and Ryan were there from start to finish each day. We started this experience with very little to no knowledge or past efforts in wake boarding and by the end of day 1 we were all standing up and starting to learn maneuvers on the board. By the end of day 2 we all made a go on the large cable course and had a blast. Steve is a great coach, loves what he does and it truly resonates down to the point of teaching my 6 and 8 year old with ease. We appreciated all the one on one attention we received even on a busy Holiday Weekend. This place was incredible and we will definitely be back! Thanks for a 5 star weekend as well a 5 Star experience Steve and Team!

A friend and I went to Wake Nation for a womens training day and it was unforgettable! The owner, Steve, was so helpful and adjusted his teachings to each of our skill levels. Id wakeboarded a few times over the years but left feeling like I learned more within those few hours than over many years. This place is welcoming to all skill levels, but I highly recommend a lesson if you’re a beginner- you’ll be up on the water and confident in no time. Steve was accommodating and made sure we had a good time, you feel like family when youre there. It is an amazing atmosphere, unique and definitely worth a trip- youll want to keep going back!

I took my first trip to Wake Nation last week, and I’m already hooked! As a first time wake boarder, the nerves were definitely present before starting my first lesson. The owner, Steve made everyone feel so comfortable and really tailored his approach during the lesson to each individual person and their unique skill level. His expertise as a teacher, along with his positive feedback and encouragement, truly helped build the confidence I needed when the time came to try out my skills on the main cable. Never having touched a wakeboard before this, I was shocked when I managed to stand up on my very first try, and I attribute all of my success to Steve and his lessons. I will definitely be returning this year. My only regret is not trying it out earlier this summer!

Steve taught me how to raley and backroll on my first try at the cable. Definitely recommend getting a lesson from him if youre lucky enough to be in town when he is although all of the instructors are also great. Love this place, definitely would recommend to bring a friend or two to share the stoke.

If you are looking for an amazing day to spend with your family this is it. Get an hour wakeboard lesson with Steve (owner), Jordan or Connor and I promise, you and the kids will be shredding in no time. Very affordable and everyone treats you like you are part of the crew. The entire vibe is awesome with good music and supportive people all around. Even if you are just taking kids, there are plenty of shaded spots to watch from, also lounge chairs to relax in. I guarantee you will come back if you give this place a try. Top notch service and amenities! If your not into wakeboarding the Aqua Park is one of the biggest best setups in the country! The season pass is worth every penny, your kids will spend all day there if you let them. Check it out.

A great place to learn to wakeboard an hangout with friends! If you’ve ever thought of trying to learn to wakeboard this is the place! I suggest doing a lesson to learn the basics before you get out on the main cable! This is the best way to learn!

I wanted to let everyone know I took my grandson and friend to wake nation for a lesson was the best time for them and my wife. Jake was a great instructor and helped them so much. Was looking forward to him training them on big course but he is going back to college. If you do as good in school as training you will be a great business consultant.

Excellent cable park! Great place to take family with a variety of ramps & etc! Definitely get your moneys worth!

My Son and I had a two hour private lesson today. We are heavy into skateboarding, which helped the lesson progression. However, the clear and concise construction, which was fitting for young and adult ages, got us up and going quickly and having a great time.Dana and Steve were great. Can’t wait to ride the mainline. This Father and Son duo had a complete blast.

We took the boys for a lesson and the trainer Jake was awesome. The boys learned very quickly and had an great time. Jake was encouraging and took his time with each one of them. We will definitely be going back.

I live two hours away, came down with a group, to be told the lessons are booked. We basically filled out the waivers then were asked if we’ve been before. I tried calling and spoke to someone who said it’s all on the website. They would not even answer our questions on the phone at all. This was a wasted trip, if you’re in the phone with some have the proper customer service knowledge to answer a couple quick questions. This place is ridiculous, I’ll definitely go somewhere else for this type of venture.

Google said they were open so we drove our from Bloomington Indiana but found out they were closed. The owner saw us and told us they were closed but since we came all the way out, he let us join the pass holders only event that evening. My first experience at a cable park and I couldn’t have had a better experience!

We came here with a group of around 40 guys, we did it under their Birthday package, and it was very reasonably priced.We did the Aqua Park and the Kneeboarding and Wakeboarding, everyone in the group had a blast!Steve and his staff really went a long way to accommodate to all of our needs.Would definitely recommend as a summer trip!

Awesome way to spend a day!! Friendly and helpful staff and a great environment. Can’t wait for next year!

We came all the way from canton for a 2 hour private lesson. I had zero wakeboarding experience. Within 10 minutes I was up and riding with confidence. Our instructor Connor was great! He was friendly and knew exactly how to get us up and riding. We will definitely be back soon.

It was really fun! Worth every penny. Great place for starters. We had a great coach Connor.

Just finished a lesson. Was an awesome experience. Connor was a great teacher. Thank you. This place is awesome

Went there with my family for a day trip from cleveland. It was a 4 hour drive but totally worth it. Connor was an amazing instructor and tought all 4 of us with ease and speed. Going from never having wakeboarded to carving and doing 180 ollies.

Love this place. Definitely Will be back and will be bringing friends and family. Big thumbs up to wake nation and Steve the owner

Staff and customers are always super friendly.There is no room for negativity here. Everyone acts as a group and wants to help make everyones time as wonderful as possible. If youre just starting out, youll have a whole cheering section excited for you to get going. If youre a seasoned vet, youll have tons of kids oooh and ahhh after each successful (and failure) attempt off one of the water features.I have been coming to Wake Nation since 2013 and I have recruited numerous friends and family members to join me. The features continue to improve each year with more advanced rails appearing. The Aqua Park has grown exponentially the last few years and is always a blast for children, teenagers and adults. There is plenty of shaded areas to stay cool and plenty of chairs to relax. The facilities are clean as well.I cant recommend Wake Nation high enough for anyone and everyone. Ill continue to visit as often as possible.

Top US Cable Park for sure! Every year they are adding new features and cool things for kids.

Took our son who has been wakeboarding behind a boat all summer. Upon paying for a 2 hour pass was informed by 1 that this experience would be “different” but never was informed that a lesson would be advised. Went through orientation with mention again of need for wakeboard experience but not specified that experience needed to be with “cable” waking. Son had 2 chances and was unable to get up so the owner told him he couldn’t because he had never waked behind the cable before. After deflating my sons confidence, the owner condesendingly offered to provide a slight lesson since he was a “nice guy”. By then we were frustrated with the miscommunication and requested a refund but we were rudely denied. First and last experience not for the service provided but for the rude customer service experience!! Be cautious when visiting this business that you get facts and aren’t being misled as we were.

My kids did a lesson with Conner and had great time. This place is awesome we plan on returning for more private lesson.

Great experience for my 7 year old son who signed up for a lesson. Cant say enough how knowledgeable and patient Steve is working with a beginner. Also he used a cool wireless speaker/mic system. Speaker in the riders helmet and Steve had a head set with a mic so he can constantly communicate and instruct no matter the distance. Very cool.... We will be back before the season ends. 2 thumbs up for sure!!!

The owner was absolutely amazing and I appreciate all of the workers there. It has a really cool and relaxed atmosphere where everyone is very supportive of the riders. New riders are welcomed and encouraged. Everyone cheers when people do cool things, whether they are new or experienced. The instruction given in the lessons is second to none and is done in a very patient and understanding tone that allows riders to pick up skills efficiently at their pace. The lessons are very clear and concise and kept safe by the instructor. The course itself is awesome and exciting and the facilities are comfortable and clean, both inside and outside. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place and this was one of the coolest experiences I have had in a long time.

This place is AMAZING! Of the 20+ wakeboard cable parks Ive been to, this place definitely in the top two. First, the water is super clean and crystal clear. I had to take a photo just to prove it to other wakeboarders. The features are gorgeous and well taken care of. The staff and instructors are amazing. I took three lessons and every lesson gave me two new advanced tricks. Theres shade structures, food, and aqua park and lawn games so everyone can have fun here.

We traveled from Cleveland to experience this amazing park. My son, already a wake boarder, was able to learn proper technique and even a few tricks from the very professional and kind staff. My daughter, whom had never wake boarded, was able to progress from the knee board (which she loved) to standing after one lesson. Looking out on the lake under shady canopies, surrounded by grassy fields and trees, you are transported to a vacation! I highly recommend for water sports lovers, adventure enthusiasts, beginners, and even those who have no interest in participating! I had a wonderful time watching all the participants, relaxing in the shade and enjoying the scenery.

Awesome time! Staff was very helpful and accommodating! We recommend wake nation if you want to just send it.

Excellent customer service, friendly staff, excellent layout and a fun experience .

We come every summer to wake nation from Cleveland just because it’s that great. From the workers teaching me new tricks, to the owner giving me new screws for my bindings because they came out. I’ve been to other cable parks, yet this one feels the friendliest and most welcoming. Definitely recommend going to this place near or far, we drive 4 hours to go there and it’s 100% worthit. Steve is relaxed and keeps his establishment family friendly.

I think the new management made quite some good changes to the place. Beginner lessons are held before the main park opens so they would not block the traffic. There are slow speed time and high speed time, so both beginners and skilled riders can enjoy. Staff are super friendly and helpful to get you started or share a couple of tips to get you on the right track. I saw people with kids there and puppies. Great place to enjoy some wake boarding or water activities during summer.

Wow. Literally cant say enough good things. Awesome staff, wide selection of boards, cool jumps, and the lake itself was clean and warm. If you want to have a fun time in Cincinnati this is a must do. Even if you dont make it up, the attempts are fun. Its also a good workout. The staff will sometimes ride too, so youll see some cool tricks and awesome rides.

The cable park is so much more accessible than a boat. The ability to just come and ride whenever, makes wakeboarding much more convenient.There are also a ton of different features here to play with and they are constantly getting new features and changing things up.

This is such a cool place! I had planned to visit for a couple hours, ended up staying in town four days!! Staff is super friendly, big thanks to John, Trevor and Connor and big shout out to my coaches Emily and Steve you rock guys!

Best place to learn to wake board hands down! Steve and his staff really take there time to teach the basics well and have so much patients and positivity while at it. Highly recommended hands down!

It was surprisingly easy to adjust from being pulled by a boat vs a land line. I enjoy this more than boating now b/c of all the extra options available.

My son and I did the adult camp and it was absolutely fantastic. I learned more in 2 days with Steve than I have from over a decade of punishing myself behind the boat. Will be back over and over again.

Great place to bring the family and Lear how to wake board, water ski, wake skate or knee board. I recommend wake nation Cincinnati to everyone

This is alot of fun for those that enjoy this sort of thing

Our son had a GREAT day at Wake Nation. The staff is so nice and patient. Our son had an awsome trampoline/training cable session with Steve. Great place to go.

Love it here! My kids had a blast! My older son, 11 was able to master the cable, my younger did good early when the cable was slowed down. But both had a great time. Everyone there- the owner, workers, and the other boarders were awesome!! Patience and helpful. We need one in the Cleveland area!!

Just had the best time ever!! It was a very nice and friendly environment. The staff was very helpful and fun to be around. A very clean deck area to watch other people wake board. Five star place forsure, nice music to chill to. Just a very nice vibe to be around.

My first experience being at a cable park, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. From picking out the correct gear, suggesting the average time for beginners and tips to help get off the platform and onto the water, the customer service from the Wake Nation staff is truly unmatched! The facility is incredibly clean and if wake boarding is not your thing (or you just get tired from the lack of upper body strength like myself) they have a variety of other outdoor activities you can participate in!Definitely check out Wake Nation and experience it for yourself- you will be glad you did!

Rude staff !!!! Seems like the staff doesnt know what they are talking about or doing. I definitely do not recommend at all. Stay away.

I showed up without a reservation for the start and turn lesson and Steve fit me in anyway. Emily was very nice and helpful will definitely be back.

Great learning experience from the owner steve, I have advanced 6 times more in 6 days of his lessons than I have in 5 years of wakeboarding

At this point in my life as a Dad, I look for opportunities every single day to make a life long memory. We have been trying to get our daughter up on a wakeboard for awhile now and decided to try a beginner cable lesson today at WakeNation. The experience exceeded every possible expectation we had going in. Within an hour, she was up and riding the length of the lake not to mention switching her stance as well! Steve and his crew are truly professionals at delivering an experience that will yield a passion for wakeboarding. I simply cannot thank them enough for the time they spent with us today. Already planning our next visit!

Awesome place for first timers and experts alike!

Took my son last year for the first time and had such a good experience we became pass holders. The first visit requires a lesson which honestly sets you up for success. The staff is top notch and offers probably one of the best customer service experiences you’ll ever encounter. The facilities are always clean and kept up. With new additions last year and for the upcoming season I can’t wait for the season to start.

Such a FANTASTIC experience! It is under new ownership & great changes are being made! Before I boast about all the fun I had, let me tell you a few helpful tips & general info.Anyone is aloud in, free of charge, if youre just watching! They do not sell food but do sell some basic beverages & they have water fountains near the restrooms. Surprisingly, they are kind enough to let you bring in your own cooler, so have at it! (Altho, Id be shocked if food wasnt on the owners to do list.) Also, there are plenty of places to sit in the shade, including picnic tables, or lounge chairs for you sun worshipers!For you workaholics, FREE WIFI & a long countertop desk w/more outlets than anyone could possably need, & it still allows you to see/enjoy all the action but inside & in the AC!!!If youre outside & need to cool off or simply just want to have some fun, check out their inflatable water park that is on a small man made pond, just behind/past the main cable park! Prices are borderline cheap for everything but I do believe they offer their small waterpark for free under certain circumstances ot to some people but dbl check on that & def dont quote me lol.Btw, Yes, I did mention a CABLE. U are not pulled by a boat here! The cable runs the full circle of the lake, at 2 different speeds. The slower, more manageable speed is always during their 1st two hrs of operation only. All equipment & gear is rented on site. Yes, you have to wear a helmet! You will thank them for this rule, along with any others!Wakeboarding is a great activity for all ages & a great full body workout! Id personally say 4 yrs old - 100 (assuming no one has any injuries, major health issues or ANY activity restrictions.) Pretty much all ages are welcome to learn! LEARN BEING THE KEY FACTOR HERE!!! SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT & DEFINITELY IMPORTANT TO THE OWNER & it SHOULD be to you too.There can be risks & possible injury, just like w/all sport! There may be some places that will let u do whatever u want, no training or even knowledge required. Just hope for the best.. Yeah...THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE PLACES! Thank goodness!So, heres how it works. If you are new to this sport, there are 2 steps that are required. Step #1, the beginner class (I opted for a private lesson & LOVED it!) This is where you learn most of your basics (how to properly hold the cable, while its pulling you, how to stand up from the water, ride with 1 foot in front, then the other, etc etc) & that can vary based on how quickly you learn.This lesson is not on the main lake/cable. Its off in a smaller pond & pretty secluded. Only the people you want to watch will see you, which makes for a completely non threatening environment thats MUCH MORE CONDUSIVE TO LEARNING!Next, Class #2 Start & Turn. People with some experience may be able to start here but dont quote me lol. This lesson IS taught on the MAIN lake & cable. They only offer this class once a day, starting @ 11am (before they open to the public.) Now, they only allow 4 students, SO MAKE A RESERVATION IN ADVANCE! During this class, the cables running at its slower speed. Start meaning, starting from on top of the dock, rather than starting in the water. This is DEF one of the most important steps if u want to ride a cable!Turn well, that is pretty self explanatory but is considered healside & toeside turns & now in a much bigger lake, with a steady cable speed that will not stop, even if you do. (So fyi, let go if u fall!!!) Theres also more people & park features (ramps, rails, boxes etc) Yes, you can go around them lol.Once you have finished that class & passed with flying colors, the park is just opening for business & now you have 2 hrs to ride as much as you like! Btw, its a free 2 hrs! Its ACTUALLY included in the minimal cost of the start & turn lesson! Well, seems my actual review will have to follow lol. Safe to say, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! DEF worth a little extra drive for their PERSONABLE APPROACH, KNOWLEDGE & ALL AROUND FUN, FRIENDLY, CHILL VIBE

Fantastic place to ride! All the staff are super helpful and really strive to make sure you have a great experience. Theyve developed a great environment for beginner to advanced riders, and are always looking to improve the park. 10/10 would shread here!

Great place to lean wake boarding. Andrew was awesome teacher. Very accommodating. Definitely coming again.

We visited Wake Nation for the first time with a group of young teens. They loved it! I was thoroughly impressed with the staff. The group of young men teaching were patient, encouraging and so helpful to our group of beginners.The facility is very clean and accommodating, offering a large deck and covered areas for shade. They also had corn hole games, oversized Jenga, and Connect 4 for those not wanting to ride. We really enjoyed watching the talented boarders too.A special thank you to Joseph! He was so helpful and personable as he led our group throughout the afternoon and then took the time to show us his incredible talent as he made a few loops around the lake. Thank you Wake Nation...we will be back!

Great vibes from the people that go there. Friendly staff great features and just an overall great time.

They are patient and supportive with begginers.

Awesome place, new ownership is doing a great job! The features are maintained and placed much better. And the staff is friendly!

Always good times! All the staff is super nice and always in great mood! Awesome place to learn Wakeboarding!

I go like 2 times a week. Its even better than behind a boat in my opinion. And plus where else In the Midwest can you find features and rails. The staff is awesome and will give you the highest quality day.

Management double booked lessons that cut into the intermediate speed resulting in 45 minutes of lost slow speed for my kids after a 4 hour drive (round trip). So a two hour pass was only half good for the kids. I purchased a pass for myself after the kids started and the last 30 minutes of my ride didn’t happen due to equipment failure that shut down the line for an extended period of time. The play park has no beach or relax area for the little kids so half the family went to a local pool to relax.This park caters to older or better riders. Not good for all ages. Look into The Quarry Cable Park in Chi for a full family experience.

I LOVEEEEED IT!!!!!!! UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AND THEY ARE FLIPPING THAT PLACE AROUND! the staff was very helpful! they help you out so much but also everyones pretty chill. if its something youve never tried before then I would go! definitely seems like its gonna be the new hangout spot! if its your first time I would go early n do the slow cable and do a start n turn lesson or the 1 hr lesson it would be well worth it. Ill be going back for sure. actually already planned my next trip! well worth the money so much fun!

Best place in Cincy when it comes to relaxing, shredding, and having fun in general.Family friendly, friends friendly, even dogs friendly.Highlights of every summer!

Such an amazing cable park. New management and improvements recently has made Wake Nation Cincinnati a world class wake park.

I go to wake nation every summer and it’s the best cable park around with the best prices great place to ride some cable!!

WN is a great spot to spend one day or several days during the warm months! Whether you are a beginner or a veteran on a wakeboard or kneeboard, there is fun to be had. Ive been going there for years, and continue to learn each time I visit. Some of the most fun times of my summer are spent hanging out at the cable. There are some big changes slated for this year too with new features and other amenities. Definitely check it out!

This place has potential to be fun and exciting but management isnt the best. They all say different things and dont really know how to run a business. They tried to get as much money out of you as possible. Trying to trick you into to paying for lessons, equipment and time. You wont be able to ride without having 2 lesson, which are worth $69. If youre a girl especially, they will doubt your ability. Much rather go to jungle jims

The staff were fantastic and very helpful. We appreciate everyones willingness to offer advice on new tricks and encouragement when things dont go quite as planned. Well definitely be back.

This place is very unique and has great service. Easy to learn and very fun!

CALL CALL CALL!!!! They DO force you to take AND PAY for a lesson if its your first time. After reading reviews on here, I decided to call about pricing. For a 2 hour beginner wakeboard session, its $100 even. For a 4 hour session its $105 (according to the $70 price I was told plus the $30-$35 ticket). As Snowboarders in Ohio, myself and my fiance are used to paying a fair amount for a ticket or pass. But we couldnt cope with $210 for 4 hours our first time there. Thats a bit much. Oh also, the beginner Cables are only open for beginners who pay for one of their lessons (according to their staff).

Friendly staff with several park features to play around on. If your a beginner they are very helpful in trying you get you going which is a plus. Dont shy away! Get out and try wake-boarding!

The new owners have and continue to make solid improvements. The staff is great, and they have features for everyone!

There used to be a bit of mixed reviews about Wake Nation, and Id like to help clear that upWake Nations previous owners/management didnt prioritize guest experience and ran things in a poor manner. Previous features in the park were falling apart and would ruin equipment. The old monster rail had screw heads sticking up enough to rip a chunk out of my new (at the time) Ronix Bill Bananarama. When I pointed it out to management, they claimed it was an inherent risk of riding the park and essentially brushed me off. I didnt return for years.However Wake Nation was purchased by a new owner last year (I think) and news of this was enough to get me to go back. IM SO GLAD I DID.New ownership had really made the place so much better. They have replaced many old features and are adding tons of new ones. All super high quality and absolutely sick. We were privileged enough to get to be the first ones on the new 4ft A-frame rail and man. What a treat! Everyone there is there for the love of the shred. And they are always willing to help get people into the sport!Aside from the new cable features, Im a huge fan of the sun shade structure they added to the deck and the family games in the yard area. We had a bit of downtime due to lighting during our visit and those definitely made the experience better!So if your in the area, stop in and check out the Midwests premier cable destination. This place is SICK, The new owner is RAD, and even if you dont ride Im sure youll find yourself entertained!-Andrew S. (Sandusky Ohio)Edited *** Over a year later and this place keeps getting better and better. One of the reasons I moved to Cincy was to shred here more often. Ive learned so many new tricks and my riding has progressed a ton!

Place useto be awesome,They got rid of a lot of the people at Wakenation who were the real reason people came to ride, new management seems inexperienced. Which is too bad I useto love to go here.

Wake Nation has all sorts of water sports to try. Wakeboarding, waterskiing, and kneeboarding are some of my favorites at Wake Nation!

A blast for anyone, beginner to advanced! Awesome staff!

Very awesome time. I was out at the beginning of the season and had never wakeboarded before. Staff was great about getting me started - encouraging, and being positive through my first couple of wipeouts. They were really keen on understaning my goal (to get up and riding on a kiteboard which I brought) and helping me get there by the end of the day.Well maintained facility, good quality gear, reasonable prices, and steller staff. Totally worth the 2 hrs drive.

Very tuff thing, Ive not rode yet must be athletic...

Beautiful
