Located on Crotty Road near Darwin Dam, the Lake Burbury Boat Ramp provides a single-lane gravel launch point suited for experienced users as it's best accessed with a 4WD. A white navigation light is positioned on the shoreline near the ramp to assist with visibility in lower light conditions.
The surrounding area is well set up for a day out, with picnic facilities and open space (can be used as a car and trailer car park), making it a great spot for both visitors and locals.
Lake Burbury itself is a standout destination on Tasmania’s west coast, offering excellent conditions for boating and trout fishing. Anglers rate it as one of the top fishing lakes in the state, and its peaceful setting makes it ideal for a relaxing outing on the water.
The lake is nestled within the dramatic landscape of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, providing not just fantastic fishing, but also impressive views. Whether you're casting a line from the shore or heading out in a boat, the scenery alone makes the visit worthwhile.
In addition to its natural beauty, Lake Burbury plays a role in Tasmania’s hydropower network, contributing to the state’s renewable energy efforts—a good reminder of how our wild places also support sustainable living.
While it’s a popular spot for camping and fishing, it's important to keep an eye on the safety signage provided by Hydro Tasmania, as conditions can change without much warning.
Overall, Lake Burbury is a great choice for those looking to enjoy a mix of outdoor recreation and quiet natural surroundings, with just enough facilities to make a day trip or overnight stay comfortable.
