The Federation Drive Boat Ramp is located beside Federation Drive Reserve and the Bethania Skate Park in Bethania, Logan City. It’s a small, single-lane concrete ramp that provides access to the Logan River. While the ramp is a little on the steep side, it’s easy enough to use and sits in a quiet, grassy area. Anglers often visit here for live prawns; bait traps are recommended, as cast nets can snag if not retrieved quickly.
There is a dedicated parking area for cars and trailers, though spaces are limited.
The surrounding Federation Drive Reserve offers a variety of facilities, including electric BBQs, picnic areas, basketball hoops, a skate park, and a dedicated canoe and kayak access point. There’s also a fully enclosed dog park with shaded seating, separate areas for large and small dogs, and bins with waste bags provided. Families will find a children’s playground and plenty of open grass under the shade of large trees, making it a pleasant place to spend an afternoon.
It’s a beautiful location along the river with abundant birdlife and a relaxed community atmosphere. However, one drawback is the lack of nearby toilets, which can be inconvenient for longer stays. The area is also known to be prone to flooding, so visitors should keep an eye on conditions.
Overall, it’s a peaceful spot that combines a handy little boat ramp with plenty of green space and facilities for families, anglers, and dog owners alike.
