The Long Island Boat Ramp is situated within the Long Island Reserve in Murray Bridge, South Australia. This riverfront reserve provides access to the Murray River. The dual lane concrete ramp is a launching point for various watercraft, from trailerable boats, tinnies, and personal watercraft, facilitating activities such as boating, watersports, and fishing. There is plenty of grass and tie points along the bank, making it a suitable base.
There are ample parking spots in the car park, including car and trailer parking.
The area is a great destination for a day of picnicking outdoors and water sports enthusiasts since it has barbecue facilities, a children’s playground with swings and a modular area with slippery dip and flying fox, benches, and public toilets.
The reserve holds cultural significance for the Ngarrindjeri people, as Long Island represents a lentlin (spear) thrown at Ponde (the fish) during the creation of the river. Visitors are encouraged to be mindful of its heritage while enjoying the natural beauty and recreational opportunities the area offers.
