The Karumba Boat Ramp,
located at the end of Gilbert Street, is a go-to launch spot for boaters
looking to explore the Norman River. This well-maintained, dual-lane concrete
ramp comes with a central pontoon, making docking and retrieving boats a
breeze. Just a short walk from the ramp, you'll find a jetty that’s perfect for
loading and unloading passengers, or for casting a line if you're in the mood
for some fishing.
Parking is plentiful,
with designated spots for both cars and trailers. However, take note: there are
no fish cleaning facilities due to the presence of crocodiles, so always stay
croc-wise while you're in the area.
If you’re planning to
stick around for the evening, you’re in for a treat. The sunsets here are
absolutely stunning, and there’s no shortage of places to stay. Right next to
the ramp, you’ll find the Pelican Inn, home to the iconic Animal Bar, as well
as the Karumba Lodge Hotel. If you prefer something more laid-back, the Karumba
Lodge Hotel Caravan Park is within walking distance.
Need supplies? No
problem! A bakery, butcher, grocery store, chemist, cafés, and a fuel station
are all nearby, making it easy to stock up before heading out on the water.
Whether you're here for a quick fishing trip or planning a longer stay, Karumba
Boat Ramp has everything you need for a hassle-free adventure.
