Cairn Curran - Picnic Point Ramp

The Picnic Point Boat Ramp sits on the western shore of Cairn Curran Reservoir near Baringhup, accessed off Joyces Creek-Baringhup Road between Bendigo and Maryborough in central Victoria.

The ramp has recently been upgraded with a new concrete surface, wider at the top to make reversing easier, along with rock revetment alongside to prevent erosion and protect trailers that drift off the edge.

The surrounding Picnic Point Reserve is a well-rounded day-use area supporting boating, sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, fishing, and canoeing.

A rocky shoreline near the ramp provides good bank-fishing access for Murray cod, golden perch, silver perch, and trout — species that have benefited from record stocking in recent years.

The reserve includes picnic shelters, tables, electric and wood BBQs, and an amenities block with all-abilities access.
