The Maroon Dam Boat Ramp, located beside H.G. Slatter Park in Maroon, QLD, provides convenient access to the tranquil waters of Maroon Dam. The site features a single-lane concrete ramp with deep water, flanked by small rock beaches on either side. While there’s no pontoon or tie-off area, the ramp itself is wide, well-maintained, and offers plenty of space for launching, though it is quite steep, so a little extra caution helps when reversing trailers. The boat ramp is located within a 6-knot zone, so remember to keep a safe distance from other lake users.

A large bitumen car park sits nearby, providing ample parking for vehicles and trailers, though it can get busy during peak periods. It’s best to arrive early to secure a spot and make the most of your day on the water.

Facilities include clean public toilets near the ramp and at the nearby day-use area to the east, which also features picnic tables, shaded areas, and a small playground for families.

Operating hours vary by season: from September to April, the facility is open from 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM, while from May to August, it operates from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM. This schedule allows plenty of time for boating, fishing, and water sports. There are quieter areas and no-wake zones available, providing peaceful spots for lunch breaks or fishing away from the busier parts of the lake.

Despite its single lane and occasional crowding, the Maroon Dam Boat Ramp remains a well-regarded facility. Once you’re out on the water, surrounded by scenic mountain views, any launch-time hassle is quickly forgotten.
