Western Boat Ramp
Western Boat Ramp
The Western Boat Ramp is one of two access points to Advancetown Lake at Hinze Dam, located in Advancetown, a rural locality on the Gold Coast hinterland.
The single-lane concrete ramp caters exclusively to electric-powered watercraft, sailcraft, and paddle craft, making it a quiet launching point for kayaking and similar low-impact activities.
Fishing is permitted from both the shore and from vessels, though a permit is required. Any fish caught should be released rather than consumed due to naturally occurring mercury in the water.
