About This Access Site
Located on the south shore of Willow Lake near Cora in Sublette County, this undeveloped boat ramp provides access to a scenic alpine lake surrounded by panoramic mountain views. The ramp features a combination of pavement and rock surface with no dock facilities, making it best suited for kayaks, canoes, and smaller watercraft that can be hand-launched. A single vault toilet is available onsite, and both day-use and overnight parking are offered above the boating area.

**Getting There:** From Pinedale, head west on US Highway 191, then turn right onto North Jackson Avenue (which becomes Willow Lake Road/County Road 119). Continue for approximately 10 miles to reach the access site. The nearby Willow Lake Campground is reservable through Recreation.gov and offers overnight accommodations. Several other campgrounds, including New Fork Lake and Half Moon Lake, are within 10 miles for additional lodging options.

**What to Expect:** This is a minimally developed site best suited for those seeking a quieter, more primitive paddling experience. Come prepared with supplies, as amenities are limited. The lake offers scenic paddling with views of the Wind River Mountains and surrounding wilderness, making it popular with paddlers interested in wildlife viewing and peaceful water recreation.
