About This Access Site
Park Street provides public boat launch access to Bangs Lake in Wauconda, a popular recreation destination in Lake County. This is one of the primary access points on the lake for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels. The ramp is located on the north side of the lake near downtown Wauconda, making it convenient for paddlers exploring this inland lake.

Before visiting, note that launch fees may apply and parking availability can be limited during peak times. Contact the Village of Wauconda directly for current fee information, hours of operation, and any seasonal restrictions. Bangs Lake is a popular fishing and recreation area, so expect moderate traffic, especially on weekends. If you're planning an extended visit, inquire about overnight parking options ahead of time.
