Somerset Dam,The Spit

The Spit boat ramp at Lake Somerset is a double-lane concrete ramp managed by Seqwater, located off Esk Kilcoy Road at Somerset Dam in South East Queensland.

It is one of two main public boat ramps on the lake, the other being at Kirkleagh, and provides access to the full expanse of Lake Somerset — the reservoir impounded by the Stanley River's mass concrete gravity dam.

The facility supports a wide range of watercraft, including fishing boats, jet skis, kayaks, and paddle craft. A gravel parking area, picnic tables, playground, and designated swimming area are also present at The Spit day-use precinct.

Shore fishing is permitted at the site. All boating activity on the lake is governed by Maritime Safety Queensland's boating regulations, and overnight stays on the water are not permitted.
