About This Access Site
The Campground Boat Launch provides convenient access to Frances Slocum Lake, a 165-acre horseshoe-shaped lake located in Frances Slocum State Park near West Wyoming. This is an excellent destination for kayakers, canoeists, and anglers seeking a calm-water paddling experience. The lake operates under electric motor only regulations at slow, no-wake speeds, making it ideal for peaceful paddling and fishing. The launch is situated within the park's campground area, offering easy access with nearby facilities.

Frances Slocum Lake supports healthy populations of fish and provides ample opportunity for recreational boating and paddling throughout its 165 acres. The park features a 100-site campground with both tent and trailer options, making it convenient for visitors planning multi-day trips. The area also offers additional recreation opportunities, including hiking trails like the Frances Slocum Trail (0.7 miles) and the Campground Trail (1 mile), plus proximity to Steamtown National Historic Site for those interested in exploring the region beyond the water.
