Dennington Ramp in Merri River

The single-lane concrete ramp at the lower Merri River provides easy water access for small to medium-sized water crafts. There is a pontoon beside the boat ramp where fishing from the shore may be enjoyed for those who don’t have boats. Trouts are commonly caught in these waters.

The Merri River, named after the aboriginal word for “rocky” offers a tranquil riverside retreat that is more than just fishing and boating. There is a dedicated picnic area where visitors can relax, hang out with their pals or family, and do activities such as nature walks, exploring wildlife, and more. They have family-friendly facilities, such as a children's playground and a basketball court, to ensure fun for all ages. Amenities include BBQs stations, picnic tables, and accessible washrooms.

If you are looking to buy boats or need to upgrade your boat engine, look no further than Richardson Marine (a Quintrex, Stabicraft, and Seacruiser boat and Suzuki marine engines dealership) they are approximately a 3-minute drive from the Ramp. You can easily trailer your boat to the dealership and back to the ramp without taking too much time. You can also buy a boat trailer, marine gear, fishing supplies, and boating equipment from well-known brands.
