I'm assuming you were at Hamilton Creek Rec area. There is certainly no dock there, but if you use the ramp between Elm Hill Marina (no public launch) and Hamilton Creek Rec area, there is a dock. It also has an $8 launch fee that you can pay cash or use a card and has good security as well as good lighting for night use. If you're coming from I-40, it is the next left after Elm Hill Marina. I believe it's called "Safe Harbor". The dock is not very useful right now due to winter pool, but will be better as soon as the water comes up.
