Prince of Wales Boat Ramp

The dual-lane concrete boat ramp is located at Gepp Parade in Derwent Park, Tasmania. Prince of Wales Boat Ramp (named after the Prince of Wales in the United Kingdom) features an adjacent pontoon and is suitable for all tides. This ramp provides easy access to the bay with the same name. PWC fenders have been installed for convenience to the jet skiers.

This bay is a beautiful spot and perfect for catching fish. You can observe various birds, ducks, and other wildlife in the area. There is a conveniently located BBQ area with covered tables, which is great for those unexpected changes in Tasmania's weather.

The boat ramp has ample parking available and it’s rarely crowded, making it a well-designed setup. It is also near the Giblins Reserve which is a great place for picnicking and BBQ parties. A playground is also available for kids and an undercover grassy shelter for ball games.

The boat ramp and its surrounding areas are teeming with ducks and pelicans.
