Boat Ramp

The boat ramp at Lake Echo's dam wall sits on Mentmore Road in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, owned and managed by Hydro Tasmania.

It is a single-lane concrete ramp offering access to Lake Echo, a remote highland impoundment popular with anglers seeking trout in quieter surrounds. A white navigation light is located on the shore near the ramp. A 4WD vehicle is recommended for access.

Note that during periods of low water levels, this dam wall ramp may be closed; two other formal ramps exist on the lake, including a newer gravel ramp located approximately 3. 5 km up the lake via a forestry road off Mentmore Road.
