The Lake Cathie Boat Ramp is conveniently located on Ocean Drive, adjacent to the Foreshore Reserve. This dual-lane concrete ramp provides easy access to Cathie Creek, Lake Cathie, and Lake Innes, making it ideal for boats, tinnies, canoes, and kayaks. The small reserve beside the ramp includes a fish cleaning table and ample parking for both cars and boat trailers, offering practical facilities for a day on the water.
Lake Cathie is a fantastic spot for kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying a picnic. The lake is currently in great condition, open to the sea, and well maintained. The area is generally quiet and not overcrowded, making it easy to back in a trailer or relax on one of the benches while taking in the scenic views. A small beach area is perfect for unloading kayaks or heading out for a fishing trip.
The Lake Cathie Fishing Platform is a wheelchair-friendly addition to the foreshore, connected to a disability-accessible car park via the existing footpath. While designed with accessibility in mind, it’s suitable for everyone, including seniors, parents with prams, and anglers of all abilities.
The platform features handrails, rod holders, and a low guardrail along the water’s edge, providing a safe and convenient space for casting and fishing.
Overall, Lake Cathie offers a peaceful and scenic setting for boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply spending a relaxed day outdoors.
