The Dodges Ferry Boat Ramp, set along Tiger Head Beach in Dodges Ferry, offers a dual-lane concrete ramp with a jetty on either side, making it a reliable all-weather, all-tide launching point into Stewarts Bay. Suitable for both large and small boats, the ramp can become shallow at low tide, but it remains one of the more scenic and practical ramps in the area.

Launching and retrieving are generally straightforward, though boarding can sometimes be a little tricky. The ramp is popular and well-used, with easy access and good protection, though it can get very busy, especially during peak hours. With that, arriving early is recommended, as parking is usually available in the morning but tends to fill up quickly by midday. The facility underwent significant upgrades a few years ago, further improving its usability.

Beyond the ramp, the surrounding area is a highlight in itself. The two beaches, (including the one with the jetty and ramp), provide a great setting for a walk, swim, or just taking in the views. The beaches are safe and family-friendly, with shallow waters and plenty of space to explore. Fossil rocks and old boat houses add character to the shoreline, making it an excellent spot for kids and adults alike to enjoy at a slower pace.

Families will also appreciate the nearby park, equipped with clean public toilets, barbecue facilities, covered picnic tables, and a playground. The play area is fully fenced with swings, slides, and climbing equipment, making it a secure and enjoyable place for children of all ages.

With its combination of practical boating facilities, beautiful beaches, and family-friendly amenities, the Dodges Ferry Boat Ramp is more than just a launch point, it’s a fun destination for a full day by the water.
