Wilcox Access

Wilcox Dock is a hard surface boat launch on Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh with parking for 35 cars and trailers, managed by the municipality.

The site provides access to Lake Champlain for boating and fishing, though note that multiple invasive species including spiny waterflea are present in the lake, so proper boat decontamination is recommended before and after use.
