The boat ramp at Lanesborough sits on the River Shannon at the northern tip of Lough Ree. A public marina on the western bank, built by Waterways Ireland, includes a slipway suitable for launching boats, jet skis, canoes, and kayaks.

There is also a small harbour on the Lanesborough side below the bridge that provides an additional launching point for smaller craft.

The site offers access to both northern and southern navigation routes along the Shannon, making it a practical put-in for boaters heading onto Lough Ree or continuing upriver.
