The Proserpine River boat ramp sits along Conway Road in the Whitsundays, between the township of Proserpine and Airlie Beach, near the mouth of the Proserpine River.

The concrete ramp leads directly into the estuary system, making it a convenient launch point for exploring the river and surrounding tidal waters. A floating pontoon alongside the ramp aids boarding and retrieval.

Ample gravel parking is available nearby, though the ramp has no toilets or lighting. Usability is tide-dependent — at very low tide, surrounding mudflats can complicate launching and retrieval.

The estuary is well regarded for fishing, particularly barramundi, mangrove jack, and mud crabs. Boaters should be aware that estuarine crocodiles inhabit these waters. Warning signs are posted at the ramp, and a 4.

5-metre saltwater crocodile was recently captured in the area. Exercise appropriate caution at all times.
