Located on Wooliana Road, the Daly River Public Boat Ramp is more than just a launch point; it’s a gateway to some of the best fishing waters in the Northern Territory. The area also features several camping grounds and caravan parks.

The single-lane concrete boat ramp, often covered with dirt, has a steep drop-off at the end, so a 4WD vehicle is essential for pulling out a loaded trailer. The ramp provides direct access to the river and is usable in most tide conditions.

The parking area is spacious, with room for over 30 cars and trailers, and includes a toilet block for convenience. Loading ramps are also positioned at the entrance and exit, making it easy to launch and retrieve boats.

As one of the top tourist destinations in the Northern Territory, the Daly River is famous for its scenic tidal waters, abundant barramundi, and diverse wildlife; including both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. This fishing hotspot attracts recreational anglers, tour operators, and commercial fishers alike, with no permits required to fish in the Daly River and Daly River mouth regions.

In 2023, the boat ramp underwent major upgrades, including repairs and an extension to the lower section, improving access and usability.

With its fantastic fishing and breathtaking surroundings, it’s no wonder this boat ramp is a favourite among locals and visitors alike! Just be sure to be croc-wise always when you visit this ramp.
