[#0000FF]Saturday afternoon during nice weather is not a good time to launch a new float tube on Willard. But if you just want to get the feel of it and not get harassed by the power squadron you have options.
Are you planning to fish too? For what species?
Right now most of the fishing for wipers and walleyes is a long boat ride from the launch ramps. But you can still find a stray fish from time to time out of either the north or south marinas. Try throwing an assortment of rattling crank baits in shad colors...or fire tiger. For plastics, throw small tubes or twisters in white or pearl. Might get a bonus crappie or smallmouth...or catfish too.
If you want free access...but with a short hike up over the dike...go to the southwest corner. Often some good fishing close to shore. See the maps.
