The Loam Island boat ramp is a handy single-lane concrete ramp that provides easy access to the lovely freshwater section of Ross River. It’s a popular spot for ski boats and kayaks, making it a great choice for a fun day on the water. With no tides to worry about, it’s pretty stress-free, though the gates at the top of the ramp might get closed during floods.

While there isn’t a pontoon available at the ramp, a little upstream, there’s a nice beach area with a jetty that's perfect for picking up passengers if you're bringing along a larger boat. Some folks have mentioned it might be a bit tricky for mooring, though.

You will find that the ramp doesn’t have any facilities, not even a toilet, but there’s usually enough parking for everyone using the ramp. Just a heads up—it can fill up quickly during peak times, so plan your trip ahead. The road leading out is one-way, so you'll take a dirt track that leads you back to the main road.

This spot is perfect for relaxing and soaking in the natural beauty. You might even spot some wildlife or reel in a fish! Plus, there’s a sandy beach area that's just right for kids to splash around and swim. Enjoy your time at Loam Island!
