Hello all,

Been awhile since I posted. I recently purchased a house in West Milford, about 5 minutes from the southern tip of GWL. Does anyone know if you can launch from Browns Point? Or if theres a good spot in Belchers Creek to launch from? I was thinking of getting out there Saturday but I want to be near the Southern end, where its more shallow, hoping to stay away from all the boat traffic.

Thanks!!

Hey Bling, You're fine launching from Brown's Point. It's pretty much the only public spot to launch on the whole lake.

Awesome, thanks Scott. I should be alright on that southern end in the kayak right? Fish the creek area for bass n stuff?

The old gazebo by Lutheran church is the only designated spot in the village.

Im on LH almost every weekend thru the year and I fished Greenwood most of the past fall. Personally there are SO many better places to fish especially from a kayak. Boat traffic alone makes the bite tuff after the early morning, it turns the fish off big time. There is nothing better than an electric only lake or even a 9.9 max for kayaks. I see guys every morning on LH paddling away and I go WAY wide and try to never wake anybody out, but the pleasure boaters dont care one bit for the fisherman. West Milford is a good spot for alot of lakes. U have upper GW and the reservoirs all right there. Just get out rly early if possible and stay shallow, the problem is if theres nothing between u and the other side of the deeper channel the wakes will come hundreds of yards across the water and bounce u around. Just be careful out there, good luck
