Hinze Dam (East)
Hinze Dam (East)
The Hinze Dam (East) boat ramp is one of two public boat ramps situated on Advancetown Lake at Hinze Dam, located roughly 30 minutes from the Gold Coast beaches.
It provides access to the lake for electric-powered watercraft, sail craft, and paddle craft, including canoes and kayaks. Petrol-powered motors are not permitted on the lake.
A designated rigging and de-rigging area is marked out at the ramp to help reduce congestion. Fishing is permitted both from the shoreline near the ramp and from watercraft on the lake, though a fishing permit is required and catch-and-release is advised.
The facility is open to the public seven days a week.
