Lake Williamstown is a 350-acre Grant County lake located about two miles east of Williamstown. A private excavation company built the lake in 1955 when they impounded the South Fork of Grassy Creek. It was open to fishing in 1957, and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. This is the largest of all the Grant County lakes, and the city of Williamstown owns it. It includes commercial marinas, launches, and more than 300 beautiful lakefront properties that may be open to rent. The black and white speckled waterfowl Loon visits the lake during the early spring.

Enjoy yearly events such as the Labor Day Boat Parade and Paddle Williamstown and other summer festivities. Bass tournaments and water safety courses also are offered. The lake is under an expansion project that is expected to trip the size of the lake to supply more safe water to the surrounding areas.

Fishing

If you would rather fish, you can expect to find largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, black crappie, redear sunfish, green sunfish, longear sunfish, channel catfish, black bullhead, yellow bullhead, and redhorse sucker.

The Williamstown Lake Water Sports Club is open to any individual or family that enjoys water activities. Although the club consists mostly of wake boarders and skiers, several members just enjoy being part of the group and watching. The club was formed in the summer of 2006 as an effort to bring all wake boarders and skiers on the lake together.
