Lake Pedder Boat Ramp

The Lake Pedder Boat Ramp, located along Gordon River Road near Strathgordon, provides a wide gravel launch area that can accommodate multiple boats at once. It sits within a popular campground, making it convenient for those looking to spend a few days by the lake.

The setting is nothing short of spectacular. With sweeping views of the lake framed by layers of mountains in the distance, it’s a place that feels worth the drive, no matter where you come from. The shoreline here is a mix of sand and pebbles, so it’s best enjoyed for its scenery and as a base for boating, rather than sandcastle building.

Facilities include clean toilets, electric BBQs, a large dining shelter, and access to fresh running water, which is safe to drink straight from the lake. Keep in mind that park fees may apply here. A lodge, just a short drive away from the ramp, offers the convenience of meals and drinks.

The campground is well suited to caravans and campervans, though tents can also be accommodated. Many visitors simply stop taking in the view, while others settle in for free camping, fishing, and exploring the area. With its incredible outlook and practical facilities, Lake Pedder is a destination that combines natural beauty with comfort, making it a memorable spot for boating, camping, or simply pausing to admire Tasmania’s wilderness.
