Barratta Creek (Jerona) Boat Ramp

Barratta Creek Boat Ramp is a two-lane concrete ramp located in Jerona, Queensland, providing access to the relatively narrow waters of Barratta Creek. A central floating pontoon assists with tying up during launch and retrieval.

The ramp is reached via a corrugated dirt road off the Bruce Highway, requiring a steady pace on the approach. Tidal conditions significantly affect usability — the ramp becomes difficult to use at around 0.

5 metres, and sediment buildup has been an ongoing concern for the local boating community, with Burdekin Shire Council pursuing dredging works to improve accessibility and safety.

There are no facilities at the ramp, so visitors should be fully self-contained. The surrounding mangroves and tidal creeks make it a popular spot for fishing, particularly for barramundi and mud crabs.

Insects, including midges and mosquitoes, are prevalent, so repellent is strongly advised. Estuarine crocodiles are present in the area and should be treated with appropriate caution.
