Brandy Creek Marina, boat launch and picnic area is located near Brandy Creek Beach, Brandy Creek RV and Dry Creek Group camping areas all of which are on the south side of Whiskeytown Lake. The launch area has a large parking lot designed to accommodate vehicles with boat trailers, accessible rest rooms as well as an adjacent picnic area that is right on the water. Boat moorage and dry storage are also available at this location by arrangement with our partner Whiskeytown Marinas LLC.

Brandy Creek Boat Launch is a good option on busy summer weekends when the other boat launches may become crowded as it tends to be slightly less utilized and has a very large parking area. Whether you are heading out for a day on the lake to fish or to just enjoy being out on the water it is a great option for launching your kayak, paddleboard, or boat. Other boat launches are located at the Whiskey Creek Boat Launch and Oak Bottom Boat Launch areas.

Access to the boat launch area can be made by turning on J. F. Kennedy Memorial Drive from Highway 299 at the Visitor Center and then proceeding across the dam, and continuing past the entrance to Brandy Creek Beach until you see the sign for Brandy Creek Boat Launch.
