At the northern end of Lake Rowallan, a newly upgraded gravel boat ramp now provides easier access for recreational boaters. The ramp has been widened and realigned with a gentle slope, making launching smoother and safer. Rocks line one side to mark the edge, and while there are no marked lanes, the space comfortably allows multiple small to medium boats to launch at once.
Fishing enthusiasts should note that a valid fishing license is required to cast a line here. The ramp area itself has no built-in amenities, though a nearby clearing offers enough room for parking cars and trailers.
Lake Rowallan, located in northwest Tasmania, is a hydroelectric lake managed by Hydro Tasmania. It lies just south of Liena and can be reached by passing Lake Parangana and driving through the scenic Mersey White Water Forest Reserve. The last section of the area is along an unsealed road, but the effort is well-rewarded with stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings.
Renowned for its excellent trout fishing, the lake is stocked with rainbow and brown trout, along with a few native species. It’s a favourite among bush anglers seeking a quiet, natural fishing experience.
For those planning to stay longer, a campground along Mersey Forest Road offers space for self-sufficient campers. The area also serves as a gateway to several walking tracks leading into Tasmania’s rugged highlands, including routes toward the Walls of Jerusalem National Park.
Whether you’re boating, fishing, or simply exploring the wild beauty of the region, Lake Rowallan is a tranquil destination that showcases the best of Tasmania’s natural outdoors.
