The Loders Creek Boat
Ramp at Labrador, QLD, is an excellent choice for local boaters eager to
explore Loders Creek and venture out into the Coral Sea for a thrilling day of
fishing, sightseeing, jet-skiing, or diving into the Great Barrier Reef.
This well-designed
2-lane concrete ramp makes launching and retrieving both boats and personal
watercraft a breeze. While it lacks a pontoon for mooring, the ramp's strategic
location offers protection from the elements, ensuring calm waters—perfect for all
types of boaters. Just keep an eye on the tide conditions, as the water levels
can become shallow during low tide. Be mindful of the sandbars in the area;
following the markers will keep your boat safe from running aground.
Conveniently, there's
a fish cleaning station just a few meters from the ramp, and nearby, you'll
find a toilet block next to the parking area. Parking spaces are limited, which can be a
challenge on weekends and during holidays. Arriving early is wise to secure
your spot. Avoid parking on the grassy Len Fox Park beside the parking area to
escape hefty fines.
The adjacent park is
perfect for leisurely walks and picnics, featuring a playground for the kids
and a sandy beach nearby for strolling or fishing. Enjoy all that this
fantastic location has to offer!
