Wilson Reservoir is a 109-acre reservoir located in Burrillville, Rhode Island, offering a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The access site features a cement plank boat ramp on the northeast side with 11-20 parking spaces. A 10 hp motor limit is enforced, making this an ideal location for paddle sports and small recreational vessels. The site is managed as a Rhode Island DEM Fishing Access Site.
**Access Details:** From Route 100 near Pascoag, take East Wallum Lake Road north to reach the launch. An alternative west-side access point is available via Bridge Street and Nooseneack Hill Road, which features a slab boat ramp and is noted as better suited for hand-carried boats like kayaks and canoes. Please keep the main ramp clear for boat trailers when launching paddle craft.
**What to Expect:** Most of the shoreline is privately owned, with a mix of developed and undeveloped land. This is a good destination for a relaxing paddle or fishing trip on a modest-sized pond. The nearby West Thompson Lake Campground (reservable) and other recreation areas, including Hodges Village Dam with its 15+ miles of trails, make this part of Burrillville appealing for a longer outdoor excursion.
