Carrak Road Boat Ramp in Kincumber is a serene waterfront destination for both locals and visitors. The ramp features a double-lane concrete slipway for launching small vessels and a jetty for docking, fishing, or viewing the scenery. Even though this ramp is ideal for small boats, dinghies, and kayaks, it's best utilised at high tide due to shallow waters that may sometimes be affected by silt and weeds. The site is popular for casual fishing and launching personal watercraft, as well.
Surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters, the area is a favourite among locals for morning walks, bike rides, and family outings. A wide, flat shared pathway leads towards Davistown, making it accessible for prams, scooters, and bikes. Benches, picnic tables, and a small playground along the track cater to families and anyone looking to soak up the tranquil environment. The sunsets here are particularly beautiful, often accompanied by flocks of ducks and seabirds.
While the reserve is generally well-maintained and cherished by the community, parking can become limited, leading to congestion during busy periods. Many locals enjoy picnics by the water, feeding ducks, or simply taking a moment to enjoy coffee and fresh air.
With nearby shops and cafes enhancing convenience, Carrak Road Boat Ramp remains a lovely place to unwind, especially during the quiet mornings. The area is also dog-friendly, contributing to its peaceful charm, and the expansive views of Davistown and St Hubert’s Island make it a delightful retreat for both locals and visitors alike.
