Hamon Cove Boat Ramp

Hamon Cove Boat Ramp, located on Lake Wivenhoe, features a single-lane concrete ramp and serves as a convenient launch point for a range of low-impact boating activities. Visitors can enjoy sailing, canoeing, kayaking, rowing, stand-up paddleboarding, fishing, and electric boating, which is allowed under restricted conditions.

The area is relatively quiet and a little off the beaten path compared to more developed sites like Hays Landing or Cormorant Bay, making it a peaceful alternative for those seeking a more laid-back experience. While amenities are minimal, there are picnic tables and a public toilet near the ramp, and the scenery is complete with gentle breezes and grazing cattle across the lake, which makes it a pleasant spot to relax.

There’s a sealed car park adjacent to the ramp with limited space for vehicles and trailers. The bank offers plenty of room for land-based fishing or simply spreading out for a picnic. It’s also a lovely spot to watch the sunset or take a few scenic photos.

Lake Wivenhoe, the largest water reservoir in South East Queensland, plays a vital role in supplying water to Brisbane and Ipswich. It’s popular among boaters and campers, yet the lake’s size means it’s easy to find a quiet bay to enjoy on your own, especially during weekdays. The surrounding landscape features a mix of private farmland and forested areas, adding to the sense of seclusion.

Hamon Cove may be small and simple, but it offers a tranquil and scenic setting for a day by the water.
