Yes, There is a launch at the west portion of the riverfront RV type spots. It's not too sketchy, but there is some trees up-wind that make the launch puffy (west wind). One of my favorite spots, with sweet campsites 100' from kiting.

The launch that Kip refers to should be considered as an advanced and non-self launch-able location.
It does have a steep shoreline and you will need to be careful not to snag any of the mooring buoys located about 30-40' just off of the beach.
Also, be wary of the kite muncher tree downwind of this launch.
The launch is do-able, but just be fully aware of the surrounding obstacles.

Teach the pole dancer to throw up your kite.
