Swan Reach Boat Ramp

The Swan Reach Boat Ramp, located on the Murray River in the town of Swan Reach, is a great spot to launch small boats and PWCs. Just a heads-up—sand can build up on the ramp, so take extra care when launching. Downstream, the riverbed is rocky, but if you head upstream, you'll find a sandy beach, perfect for a more relaxed boating experience.

There’s a pontoon area and a wharf terminal for the Murray Princess ferry, making it a great place to watch the boats come and go. If you don’t have your own vessel, the local ferry service is a fantastic way to cruise the Murray River, and the operators are always happy to share local insights about the area.

Parking isn’t an issue, with plenty of space for cars and trailers. If you’re planning to make a day of it, there are sheltered picnic areas right by the ramp. For even more room to relax, Len White Reserve is just a short stroll away. This riverfront park offers more picnic shelters, benches, toilets, a playground for kids, and ample parking for visitors.
