Lake Proserpine Boat Ramp

The Lake Proserpine Boat Ramp, located on Station Road, provides direct access to the waters of Lake Proserpine. It’s a single-lane ramp, fairly long and steep due to the dam’s water levels, but well-supported by a pontoon jetty that extends past the ramp. The pontoon makes launching and retrieving easier, giving plenty of space to hold boats while vehicles are parked or brought down to the ramp.

Although the ramp itself is narrow and could benefit from being widened, it’s generally safe and practical to use. A boating permit is required here, so it’s worth sorting that out before your trip. The adjacent car park is sealed and offers plenty of space for both cars and trailers, located conveniently close to the ramp.

Beyond its practical facilities, Lake Proserpine is a truly peaceful spot. The area around the ramp features picnic tables, BBQ areas, and toilets, all kept in very good condition. There are two pontoons; one for boat launching, as mentioned before, and another closer to the picnic area, both offering a chance to fish, with barramundi often caught right off the jetty.

For those interested in extending their stay, there are well-maintained campgrounds that provide plenty of space for tents and caravans. With the option for glamping, it's an ideal choice for a weekend getaway or an extended holiday under the stars. While the campsites are unpowered, the amenities (such as showers and toilets) are clean and well-kept. The sites are generously spaced apart, offering options either by the water’s edge or further back into the hillside for added privacy.

Whether you’re here to launch the boat, enjoy a day of fishing, or simply relax with a picnic, Lake Proserpine is a beautiful and well-kept location. Quiet, scenic, and slightly tucked away from the busier coastal towns, it’s an inviting place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.
