The Thompson Point Boat Ramp sits at the southern end of Thompson Point Road in Thompson Point, a coastal locality within the Livingstone Shire. It features a dual-lane concrete ramp complemented by a floating walkway, providing direct access to the Fitzroy River.
The ramp is generally suited to 4WD vehicles, with a gravel surface leading into the water. While functional, it can be quite slippery near the top of the ramp so extra caution is advised when launching. Care is also needed at low tide, and boaters should keep an eye out for floating logs in the river.
Access to the ramp is via a gravel road, and parking is somewhat limited. Expect to park your vehicle and trailer at the side of the road. The surrounding area is a mix of compacted dirt and gravel, which can become muddy after rain. There are no on-site amenities, so it’s best to come prepared.
Despite its simplicity, Thompson Point is a great natural spot with a solid ramp and scenic surroundings. The riverside also features a few interesting historical remnants, adding a bit of character to the location. Overall, it’s a quiet and picturesque place to launch, particularly for those who appreciate a more rugged, off-the-beaten-track setting.
