The Tailrace Boat Ramp, located within Tailrace Park in Trevallyn, features a dual-lane concrete ramp with a central pontoon platform, providing convenient access to the Tamar River. The floating pontoon makes boarding easy, and the ramp is suitable for use in most conditions, working best at high tide and, depending on vessel size, at lower tides as well.
Positioned along the scenic Tamar River walkways, the ramp is popular with both boaters and kayakers. Parking is plentiful, including space for vehicles with trailers, and essential facilities such as public toilets, drinking fountains, and rubbish bins are close by.
Beyond the ramp, Tailrace Park is a spacious and well-maintained waterfront reserve. It offers clean BBQ facilities, large grassy areas, walking and cycling tracks, and a variety of play equipment suitable for children of all ages. There’s also free outdoor gym equipment, making the park suitable for both relaxed outings and exercise.
The park’s peaceful setting, river views, and abundant birdlife make it a pleasant spot for walking dogs, fishing, or simply spending time outdoors. With its mix of practical boating facilities and family-friendly amenities, Tailrace Park is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
