yes there is a public launch off the orrivlle rd side and you can use motors just be careful and go slow, lots of stumps.. word of advice, troll just a night crawler under the power lines just as its getting light or as its getting dark, there are nice trout in there, of course it aweful warm right now so probably not much good for eating.. pan fish are abbundant in there, great perch and crappie and some of the biggest blue gill around
