The Franklin Boat
Ramp, situated along the Huon Highway in Franklin, offers a convenient spot for
launching small to medium-sized boats with its dual-lane concrete ramp and
adjacent wooden dock. No matter the tide, boaters can count on easy access to
the water.
Parking isn’t an issue
here, with plenty of spaces available for both cars and trailers. The
surrounding river foreshore area is a real highlight, offering breathtaking
views of the Huon River and the scenic landscapes beyond. Whether you're an
early riser or prefer winding down in the evening, Franklin puts on a
spectacular display at sunrise and sunset, so don’t forget your camera!
For those looking to
enjoy a full day outdoors, the area has everything you need. There are BBQ
stations, picnic tables, seating, a playground for kids, public toilets, and
even an RV dumping point for travellers.
A walking track along
the riverbank and a spacious oval provide the perfect setting for stretching
your legs, taking the dog for a stroll, or even going for a bike ride.
Whether you’re heading
out on the water or just soaking in the natural beauty, Franklin Boat Ramp is a
fantastic place to spend the day.
