Boat Ramp

Located on the western shore of Bronte Lagoon near the dam wall, in Tasmania's Central Highlands, this is a dual-lane concrete boat ramp owned by Hydro Tasmania.

A central pontoon platform with a floating gangway makes launching and boarding straightforward, and a white navigation light is mounted at the pontoon's end. Car parking and toilets are available nearby.

The ramp was completed in March 2012, the first facility of its kind on a recognised trout fishery on the Central Plateau. An informal launching area also exists near the Bronte Canal inflow, though it may be unusable when water levels are low.

Boaters should note navigation restrictions within 60 metres of the spillway and in Woodwards Canal, and are encouraged to accelerate gently in shallow water to minimise disturbance to the lagoon's aquatic habitat.
