Kwahamot Water Ski Club

Started in 1960, the ski club has performed free ski shows three times per week every summer since. They have always performed their talented shows at Kwahamot Park, which is widely considered one of the best water ski facilities in the world. The combination of natural and manmade features creates a perfect ski site with calm Wisconsin River waters and great skiing. The Kwahamots are one of the few ski teams anywhere (professional or amateur) that can boast of permanent bleacher seating (that seats up to 1,000), stadium lights, a concession stand, free parking, and a club house. With our great ski site, we have had many opportunities to host local, regional, and national tournaments.
