Q: What is Lake Maroon like for waterskiing.

A:  Lake Maroon is probably one of the best waterskiing lakes in Queensland. The Lake is deep and clear, very safe and not crowded. There are no special permits required to use the Lake. Jet Skis are permitted. Almost all of the dams surface area is skiable and free from obstructions. The area used by skiers is quite seperate to the area used by fishermen, so less conflict of use. Due to the surrounding mountains the dam is not usually affected by wind, deep enough that is doesn't chop up easily and can be skied almost all day.
