JABIRU RESERVE BOAT RAMP

Public BBQ

Jabiru Reserve Boat Ramp at Lake Cathie offers a peaceful launch spot for kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. The location stays serene and uncrowded, making it simple to back in a trailer without the usual boat ramp chaos. Parking is plentiful, especially when other nearby areas fill up. The lake connects to the sea when conditions allow, improving water quality and fishing opportunities. Whiting run here regularly. A small beach provides easy kayak access, and benches overlook the water for a quick rest stop. The site stays clean and well-maintained. Sand accumulation in parts of the lake has become an issue that affects navigation. Still, the calm waters and quiet atmosphere make it a solid choice for paddling, fishing, or a simple waterside break.
