The lake is very shallow at the end of the Old Mission Peninsula. At the far right of this picture, you can see some grass which is growing on a sandbar stretching out into the lake. The sandbar (the further right of the two sandbars visible in this satellite image of the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula) stretches out nearly half a mile from the shore--most of it above water (at least when I was there), and where it was below water the water was no more than an inch or two deep.
