Water Skiing Slalom Course

Lake Limerick, just outside Shelton, WA, offers a dedicated slalom-style water ski course – a standout amenity for members and their guests. Additional information can be found at the Lake Limerick Ski Club Facebook page.

🏁 What it is & how it works

  • The ski course is a slalom setup, complete with buoys anchored in the lake to mark the path .
  • It’s installed and maintained by the Lake Limerick Water Ski Club – an informal group of enthusiasts who promote the sport in the community.
  • Course etiquette: newcomers are encouraged to introduce themselves to regular skiers. There’s no formal booking—just ask around for course usage times and rules.

🕒 Usage & events

  • Open for practice – refer to the “Lake Rules and Safety Guidelines” for permitted hours and speed limits.
  • LLCC hosts two bi-annual competitions/demonstrations: one during “Lake Limerick Daze” (in early June) and another at the “End of Summer Bash” (on Labor Day weekend).

⚠️ Safety & rules

  • Adherence to LLCC lake rules is mandatory, including ski-course-specific regulations—like avoiding conflict with other boats during designated high-speed periods.
  • Washington state rules (similar to those in County SNAs) include requirements for a skipper and onboard observer, safe passing distances, and personal flotation devices for skiers.
