Located along Gordon Young Drive, the South West Boat Ramp provides convenient access to South West Rocks Creek via a dual-lane concrete ramp. While the ramp is relatively narrow and fairly basic in design, it offers smooth launching and retrieval for most small boats and is particularly well suited to kayaks and other lightweight watercraft. Water levels can be shallow at times (around 200mm in some conditions) so larger vessels may need to exercise caution.
The facility doesn't include a jetty, but it does offer practical amenities, including a wash-down area, two fish cleaning tables, and public toilets. There is ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers, along with additional car-only parking to accommodate visitors.
Surrounding the ramp is a beautifully maintained park, where scenic riverside walking paths and peaceful surroundings make it an enjoyable place to spend time, whether you're heading out on the water or simply relaxing by the creek. The clean, well-kept environment adds to the area's welcoming atmosphere.
The location is also popular with anglers, offering easy access to local fishing spots, while a nearby holiday park makes it a convenient base for extended stays or weekend getaways. Whether you're launching a kayak, enjoying a day of fishing, or taking in the riverside scenery, the South West Boat Ramp is a practical and pleasant destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
