Boat Launch - Watkins Mill State Park
Gain access to Williams Creek Lake via the park's boat-launching area. There is a courtesy boat dock and a paved boat ramp, as well as a sand ramp that is popular for launching kayaks.
Outboard motors of any size may be used, but they must be operated at a slow no-wake speed. A nearby hard-surface parking area is available for vehicles and trailers.
Fishing from the boat dock is prohibited. There is an accessible fishing dock farther down the lake.
