The Murray Bend Boat Ramp, located in the quiet township of Ravenswood along Pinjarra Road, offers a single-lane concrete ramp with fixed wooden jetties providing direct access to the Murray River. It's a peaceful launch point, particularly suited for small boats or canoes; ideal if you're planning a scenic 16km paddle downstream to Pinjarra.
Set apart from the busier river access points, this spot offers a more relaxed atmosphere. The car park is spacious and shaded, with plenty of room for cars, trailers, and rigging. Facilities include public toilets, a sheltered picnic area, and a small grassy playground, making it a convenient place for families to spend a few hours by the river.
The site is part of a free day-use area, complete with clean bathrooms that include cold showers and changing space. While overnight stays and camping aren’t permitted, it’s a dog-friendly location, and the riverside scenery adds to the appeal.
Overall, Murray Bend is a pleasant, low-key spot to launch a boat, enjoy a picnic, or simply sit under the trees and watch the river traffic drift by.
