About Sandbar at Lake Winnisquam
Shallow freshwater sandbar on the southwest end of Lake Winnisquam, best approached by boat near the Route 3 bridge. The bar is waist-deep at some water levels and drops quickly into deeper water, which makes it a practical place for open-water practice, buoyancy work, and relaxed lake dives when summer conditions are settled. Expect a busy boating lake, a simple anchor setup, and visibility that can shift after rain or algae swings.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A straightforward open-water training site with shallow water, a fast drop-off, and room for buoyancy and navigation drills.
Freediving
Useful only for shallow-water practice; the quick drop-off makes it better as a supported dive than an all-day freedive site.
Snorkeling
