On Lake Butte Des Morts, just west of Oshkosh Wisconsin is a popular shallow sand bottom swimming area called Sand Pit.
We’ve spent some time there lately and find it to be a nice family friendly area for anchoring and swimming or just standing around enjoying the company of friends.
The shoreline is developed with homes and cottages so you can not walk on shore and there is not a dry sand beach or bathroom.
The area is on the southern shore of the lake so most of the time the water is very calm even if the rest of the lake is rough with whitecaps.
The water depths varies from too deep to stand but gets less deep as you get closer to shore. At about twenty feet offshore the depth is about waist high.
I made the below map so if you are in the area West of Oshkosh and would like to give it a try here you go.
