The Cleaverville Creek Boat Launching Ramp, located along Cleaverville Creek Road in Mount Anketell, is a natural ramp nestled among the mangroves, ideal for launching tinnies and small to medium-sized boats. While the area is beautiful and popular with anglers, it’s important to plan around the tides, which can reach up to five metres.
There is a wide dirt pack road within the ramp, which is also used as a parking lot.
This spot is well-loved for fishing, particularly for mangrove jack, bream, cod, mud crabs, and other local species. Turtles are also common in the waters, so boaters should stay alert while navigating the creek. The surrounding mangroves provide plenty of access for mud crabbing or a quick cruise out to the ocean.
Cleaverville Creek is also a favourite for camping and day trips. The camping area has a 28-day limit and offers public toilets and sullage disposal points, but there is no drinking water on-site, so make sure to bring your own. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful, off-the-beaten-track setting, beach fishing at the creek mouth, and scenic sunsets; just don’t forget insect repellent for midgies, and keep an eye out for snakes.
Cleaverville Creek combines natural beauty, fishing, and camping in a tranquil location, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors seeking a relaxed outdoor experience.
