"While the water of the deeper portion of this spring fed lake is always cold, along the entire shorefront of Was-Wah-Go-Ning the water is shallow for a distance of about 200 feet from shore.  The sandy bottom is smooth and clean, and the sun in July and August warms the shallow water to render bathing a source of delightful enjoyment and recreation.  At no place is there a deep hole, and the water is so clear that the bottom may be seen at every step which one takes in wading out from shore.  In fact, a pebble or minnow may be seen in the water from five to ten feet deep."
