The Normanton Boat
Ramp, sitting at the corner of Landsborough Street and Wharf Road in the heart
of the outback town of Normanton, is a handy spot for launching small to
medium-sized boats into the Norman River. This two-lane concrete ramp makes
getting on the water easy, and the adjacent jetty is great for retrieving
boats. It’s accessible in most tide conditions, so you won’t have to worry too
much about timing your launch.
Just a short walk
away, a small wharf offers a prime spot for land-based fishers looking to reel
in a catch. Just keep in mind that the Norman River is known for its saltwater
crocodile population; so always stay alert, be croc-wise, and take extra caution
near the water.
Parking isn’t an issue
here, with plenty of space for cars and trailers. For those who want to relax
before or after a day on the water, there’s a gazebo with picnic tables,
chairs, and a BBQ station; perfect for a laid-back meal by the river. Plus,
toilet facilities are conveniently located nearby. Whether you’re here for
fishing or just a day out on the boat, this ramp has everything you need for a
day of adventure.
