Tucked away on the edge of Gough Bay in the scenic Lake Eildon region, the Goughs Bay Boat Ramp is a top-notch launch spot for anyone keen on boating, fishing, or water sports in Victoria’s alpine region. This single-lane concrete ramp is in great shape and well looked after, making it a reliable option for all sorts of vessels—from small tinnies to speedy powerboats. With direct access to Lake Eildon’s massive waterways, it’s the perfect launch point for exploring hidden inlets and prime fishing spots. You’ll often see a variety of boats—including houseboats—moored along the shoreline.

Fishing fans love this spot, and for good reason; Lake Eildon is loaded with trout, redfin, and Murray cod, making it a magnet for anglers all across the region.

The ramp area has plenty of parking, so even during those busy summer holidays, you’ve got a good chance of snagging a spot without too much hassle. And if you're visiting for the day or staying longer, you’re in luck—there’s a general store, caravan park, boat club, and even a maze and gardens nearby to explore.
