Seqwater has a number of boat ramps at our dams and lakes across South East Queensland. These boat ramps are generally open to the public from sunrise to sunset, noting this may vary as per specific signage at each site.
Different types of vessels are permitted at different locations. If you are unsure if a particular vessel or recreational activity is permitted at a site, please contact us.
Boating permits are also required at many of our sites so it’s important to plan your trip before you go.
