About Lake Butte des Morts

Lake Butte des Morts is a 8,602-acre natural lake in Winnebago County, Wisconsin.

We have not matched Lake Butte des Morts to a public USGS level gauge, so this page leans on wind and weather from the National Weather Service forecast grid over the lake. If you know of a gauge or a lake association that publishes levels, tell us and we will add it.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
