Located within Moruya Riverside Park, the Moruya Boat Ramp features a small, single-lane concrete ramp with jetties providing convenient access to the picturesque Moruya River. Situated close to the heart of town, it's a practical launch point for small boats, kayaks, and other small watercraft. While the ramp is easy to access, kayakers should take extra care when entering or exiting the water, particularly during low tide when the riverbank can become slippery.
The surrounding riverside precinct is well-equipped with amenities, including public toilets, nearby cafés, picnic tables, free BBQ facilities, and excellent fishing spots. On Saturday mornings, Riverside Park comes alive with the popular Moruya Country Market, offering fresh local produce, artisan goods, and a lively community atmosphere just steps from the boat ramp.
Moruya Riverside Park itself is a destination worth visiting, whether you're launching a boat or simply spending the day outdoors. The expansive park features shady trees, wide grassy areas, a children's playground, a public swimming pool, picnic shelters, and walking paths with beautiful river views. During spring, colourful blossoms add to the park's charm, and on occasion, visitors may even spot a seaplane taking off or landing on the river.
Wildlife is another highlight of the area. Lucky visitors may catch sight of seals lounging on the riverbanks or playing in the water, making a stroll along the river even more memorable. The peaceful setting is ideal for families, anglers, birdwatchers, and anyone looking to unwind beside the water.
Visitors consistently praise the park for its clean amenities, well-maintained picnic facilities, excellent fishing opportunities, safe swimming areas, and welcoming atmosphere. While caravan parking can be limited during busy periods, Moruya Riverside Park remains one of the town's most popular recreational spaces, offering something for everyone.
For paddlers looking to explore, the river offers a scenic 12-kilometre journey upstream towards the Araluen Road Bridge. Along the way, the Moruya River meanders through peaceful farmland and native forest, creating a relaxing paddle with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings. Keep in mind to check the water levels and submerged obstacles before venturing further.
