The
boat ramp at Colmslie Recreation Reserve is a solid 2-lane concrete ramp that's
perfect for launching your boats or jet skis. The ramp guarantees seamless
access to the waters of Brisbane River at all tide conditions. Adjacent to the
ramp, you'll find a concrete wharf, ideal for anglers who prefer fishing from
land. There's also a floating jetty available for mooring boats.
You’ll find sandy mangrove shores on both
sides, which is perfect for walking and exploring. Visitors are frequently
treated to views of pelicans roosting on the shore, along with various bird
species like spoonbills, curlews, and ducks that call this area home.
The site is equipped with sheltered picnic
areas, BBQ stations, and toilet facilities, ensuring a comfortable experience
for all visitors. The area is secure, monitored by CCTVs, and regularly
patrolled by police to ensure safety.
Ample parking is available nearby for cars and
trailers, making access convenient. Furthermore, the surrounding area boasts a
dog park, hockey fields, the Vulcana Circus School, and a pool complex
featuring both indoor and outdoor pools, in addition to soccer and cricket
fields.
