There is a concrete launch, pit toilets and picnic tables available at the launch site as well as parking. However, there are only three trailer parking spots available, so be sure to arrive early if you plan on leaving your trailer at West Lake. Only paddle vessels and motors less than 6 horsepower are permitted in West Lake. No motors are allowed beyond the lake. Launch fees are $25 for a seven day pass and $60 for an annual pass.
