Review & FAQ:
Once a large marshland, Lake Butte des Morts was created by the construction of a dam on the Fox River in the 1800s, which flooded the area, creating a flat, shallow lake with the maximum depth of only 9 feet. Today, for the safety of boaters, there is a marked navigation channel across the lake. The lake is part of the Winnebago Pool and fishermen can enjoy catching the plentiful drum, carp, channel catfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and white bass. It is particularly famous for its lake sturgeon, which can reach up to 100 pounds. Winter ice fishing is also very popular on the lake.
