The Horsehead Creek Boat Ramp, located within Horsehead Creek Riverside Park at 19A Devonport Road, Miandetta, offers a well-constructed dual-lane concrete ramp with a central pontoon platform. It provides straightforward access to the Mersey River and is suitable for most boating activities, although it can be affected by south-easterly winds and is limited at low tide. Fenders have also been installed to assist personal watercraft users.
The surrounding grassy parkland is a popular spot for both locals and visitors, particularly those interested in fishing and relaxed riverside camping. The area supports recreational vehicles and caravans, with designated parking spaces for cars and trailers, open camping areas, an RV dump point, public toilets, and rubbish bins. Overnight camping is permitted for a $10 fee.
The site is well regarded as a fishing destination and is known for its abundant birdlife. Campers will find plenty of open lawn space, with good sun exposure for solar panels and water views from most campsites. While there is no fresh water available for caravan tanks, a toilet dump point is located across the road. The park is also pet friendly, making it a convenient and welcoming stop for travellers exploring the region.
