Lamington Bridge Boat Ramp

The Lamington Bridge Boat Ramp, located in Maryborough, offers a two-lane tidal ramp with a floating pontoon that also serves as a convenient fishing platform for land-based anglers. It provides excellent access to the upper saltwater reaches of the Mary River, making it a popular launch spot for both casual boaters and more experienced fishers.

Launching and retrieving are generally easier around the higher tide, though confident users can safely access the ramp at most times. The area experiences a strong tidal current, so it’s often best to launch against the flow for a smoother experience. With good fishing spots located nearby, it's certainly worth considering for your next outing.

The surrounding area is well-equipped with accommodation options such as tackle shops, restaurants, and places to pick up essentials like fuel, ice, and bait. The car park has been recently upgraded, offering more space for vehicles and trailers, along with toilets, picnic tables and chairs, and a basic wash-down facility for post-trip clean-up. There are even two water connection points for RVs to top up tanks, making it a handy stopover spot.

The ramp area is peaceful and a pleasant place to unwind, watch the river flow by, or cast a line. Depending on the season and what you’re targeting, the fishing can be rewarding; threadfin salmon, in particular, are known to put up a good fight.

While the location is generally safe during the day, it's worth being mindful of the occasional report of break-ins. Taking standard precautions with your belongings is advisable.

Overall, Lamington Bridge Boat Ramp is a practical, well-located launch point with solid amenities and access to productive fishing grounds.
