toad: there is a pretty decent launch at the SE corner of the lake with adequate parking, but there is no dock. you have to slide your boat off and have somebody hold it on a line or beach it. then you have to wade out into the water and climb into your boat. not terribly convenient, but i've been to worse.
be advised that the lake is shallow for 10-20+ yards from shore, keep your trim up until you can see visually or your depthfinder tells you that you're deep enough. i chunked a prop there once.
