The Lake Nillahcootie boat ramp is located on the Lima South in northeastern Victoria, 36 kilometres south of Benalla. The name "Nillahcootie" is of Indian origin and is reputed to mean "Blue House."

The concrete boat ramp features a single lane, providing easy access for boaters using Nillahcootie Dam. It is well-suited for launching jet skis, small boats, and tinnies. However, boaters should be mindful of potential dangers associated with low water levels and submerged hazards, exercising caution while on the water.

Lake Nillahcootie was created to manage the flows of the Broken River for irrigation, domestic, livestock, and urban water supply purposes. It is a popular destination for barbecuing, picnicking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and boating. The area is scenic, offering plenty of shade, as well as excellent picnic and toilet facilities. Ample parking is available nearby. The picnic and boating areas are open to the public from 8:00 AM to sunset daily, but camping is not permitted. Visitors are also welcome to explore the Spillway and the surrounding areas.
