The boat ramp at Meadowbank Lake sits on the eastern side of Dunrobin Bridge along the Lyell Highway, roughly an hour northwest of Hobart.

It consists of a single-lane concrete ramp with an adjacent walkway to assist with launching, and parking is available nearby for cars and trailers. Public toilets and a picnic area are also located on the eastern side of the bridge.

As the most downstream lake in the Derwent River hydro-electric scheme, Meadowbank Lake draws boaters, water skiers, anglers, and canoeists.

Boaters should observe the 10-knot speed limit north of Dunrobin Bridge and stay clear of the no-boating zones approximately 1,500 metres upstream of Meadowbank Dam and 300 metres downstream of Cluny Dam.
