Shady Camp Fresh Water
Shady Camp Fresh Water
The Shady Camp Freshwater Ramp sits upstream of the barrage on the Mary River, within Mary River National Park roughly 200 km from Darwin.
Because it is positioned on the freshwater side of the barrage, launching here is unaffected by tidal fluctuations, and boaters can cruise a long way up the river from this point.
The ramp is a popular base for barramundi fishing, particularly during the March–May run-off season when big barra move through the system. The surrounding landscape of monsoon forest, paperbark woodlands, and freshwater billabongs adds to the appeal.
A Northern Territory park pass is required for entry.
