The Jacksonville site may be reached by taking U.S. Route 19 south, and turning onto Walkersville Road (county Route 44). Continue on county Route 44 until turning onto Mudlick Road (county Route 19/10). After turning on Mudlick Road, the boat launch is located less than a quarter of a mile on the left.

Despite being the most isolated access site on the lake, the Jacksonville launch area offers tons of submerged and standing timber. A five-mile no-wake zone, stretching from the Jacksonville ramp downstream to an island near the state park, surrounds the Jacksonville access. The Jacksonville area is perfect for anglers who are seeking a remote fishing experience that offers awesome big-bass habitat with relatively low fishing pressure.

While Stonewall Jackson Lake may be showing signs of old age, the lake remains West Virginia’s best bass lake. With plenty of fishable water, a surplus of quality habitat and numerous big bass, this impoundment should continue to be the Mountain State’s premier bass fishery for years to come.
