Yarralumla Bay is a
scenic park located on the southern foreshore of Lake Burley Griffin, easily
accessible from Alexandrina Drive, situated between the picturesque Orana Bay
and Blue Gum Point in Canberra.
At the heart of this
beautiful location is a convenient 2-lane concrete ramp, providing easy access
to the shimmering waters of Orana Bay and the Molonglo River. Just a few steps
from the ramp, you’ll find a charming water-level wharf—an ideal spot for soaking
in the stunning views.
This location is a
paradise for anyone who love to reconnect with nature. Whether you enjoy
boating, swimming, or paddling, or prefer a leisurely stroll along the water's
edge, Yarralumla Bay is the place for you. Shaded picnic areas beckon you to
relax, and they seamlessly connect to a popular cycleway and walkway that
meanders around the lake, complete with helpful information and directional
signage.
Children are going to
love the sandy beach and enclosed swimming areas since they are perfect for
paddling and splashing around. In the western section of the park, discover a
lively hub featuring sailing and rowing clubhouses, launching ramps, piers, and
additional wharf space for all your aquatic adventures.
Dog owners will
appreciate the designated on-leash and off-leash zones, allowing furry friends
to frolic and enjoy the outdoors. Just be sure to keep an eye out for areas
where pups are restricted.

If you're considering
purchasing a boat or upgrading your engine, make sure to visit Riverina Marine Centre! Although it’s a 2-hour and 37-minute drive from the ramp, the journey

boats, Move Boat Trailers, and Yamaha outboard engines. They also offer an
array of trailers, marine gear, fishing supplies, and a host of other boating
essentials to ensure you’re well-prepared for all your aquatic escapades.
