At Camp Murray there is also a boathouse W of the RV area that gives
access to the SW-most part of the lake; ask for directions at the gate.
And there is a county park on the lake a bit E of the boat launch/
conservation area that Dennis mentioned (park's name is a person's name;
?"Harry Todd"?; it's on most maps of the area).
