The single-lane boat
ramp is a gateway for campers or boaters who want to fish, water ski, and yabby
in the waters of Cockatoo Lake Reserve, a short drive north of Naracoorte. The
lake is seasonal and the water level is dependent on rainfall. Small boats and
personal watercraft are recommended to be launched here.
Cockatoo Lake Recreation
Reserve is a popular recreational area where visitors can camp for days or stay
for a day. Camping and parking is free. There are flat green areas to park the
van or pitch a tent. There are fixed fireplaces subject to fire restrictions. The
site is pet friendly provided pets are on a leash. There is also a great area for
parking trailers but could be crowded during peak seasons.

If you are looking to
buy boats or need to upgrade your boat engine, look no further than South East Marine and Motorcycles, a Quintrex
and Yellowfin boats, Mercury outboard engines, and a Can-Am ATVs dealership,
they are approximately a 27-minute drive from Cockatoo Lake Reserve. You can
easily trailer your boat to the dealership and back to the ramp without much
inconvenience. You can also buy a boat trailer, marine gear, fishing supplies,
and boating equipment from well-known brands.
