Marsh blinds
We have 3 blinds at our lease and they are all above ground. No pits. Water level in the ponds are around 3-4ft deep.
Around the blinds it is starting to get deeper, late December you have to start watching your elbows or they'll get wet as the water comes up. And ideas for some type of steps or platforms that can be put underwater to keep from making it deeper. I was pondering putting wooden pallets by the entrances to the blind where we climb in. Problem is the water never gets low enough to construct something at those levels. Any thoughts?

Plastic bread trays if you can find them.

Fiber glass grating works great. We have walk ways to all of our blinds and too our boats in the marsh. Just drive two 2 X 4's and put a 2 X 6 across the top to screw the grating down too. We can hunt any of our blinds in ankle boots if we'd want too.

Drop some bags of quick crete and let them set up a day or two... Did that to the entrance of my marsh blind that has sat in the same location for 20 years..... Have created a nice hole in that time and the bags have helped me.....

It varies on the drop off pieces that we get from work anywhere from 18"-12"

Marsh blinds
My hole wasn't that big just placed a couple bags to start with and went from there.... Even placed a couple on top of each other and created a step up into the blind....

We've used pallets around our marsh blind, but eventually they break and you can step through them. Our dogs constantly stayed with cut up pads and ankles. That had to be what was doing it. What about sand bags if you're just trying to make a step up? Unless they cost as much as quick crete.
