I never fished or been to there.
coming from Erie, what is the best way to a boat launch and is there any bait and tackle stores near by?
any info would be great, looking to take the kids down on Friday. Thanks

BeenThereDoneThat.
79 south to exit 141 (interchange RT 285) RT 285 West (less than 1/8 mi.) to RT 19 south.  Follow RT 19 south to Georgetown Rd. (there will be a restaurant on the left (County Line Cafe)).  Turn left onto Georgetown Rd. which will take you straight to Lake Wilhelm.  HOWEVER, you will encounter a detour do to construction on Georgetown Rd but, not to worry the detour is well marked.  There is a bait/tackle shop at the Marina and another place called Fergies on the opposite side of the lake.  Take the causeway across the lake and turn left at the stop sign ( this will be Georgetown and you will encounter the other end of the detour at this point)  Fergies will be on your right about 1/4 mile after turning left.
 
Last I knew the detour was still in effect.  If the detour is down Fergies will be on your left  at Vacation Campground entrance and the causeway will be on the right about 1/4 mi. 
 
There is a second way but, I think even with the detour, you'll get there faster.
 
If I might be of further assistants shoot me a PM.

Thank you for all your info, enjoyed fishing there.  next time kids and I head there, we found and easier way to get there by when we left at the Sheakleyville, rd i79, on ramp.  will fish there again!

That's good news........ last I knew bridges were being replaced on rt19 just north of Sheakleyville and Georgetown Rd. had something going on.  Hopefully, your next trip, all the construction will be completed.
 
Take care and good fishing.
