Cromarty Boat Ramp

Cromarty Boat Ramp and Recreation Area sits on the bank of the Haughton River, roughly 10 km west of Giru and about 40 km north of Ayr in Queensland's Burdekin Shire.

The single-lane concrete ramp provides straightforward access to the river, which is well regarded for barramundi, whiting, flathead, mangrove jack, grunter, and mud crabs. A pontoon alongside the ramp offers an alternative fishing platform at any tide.

Access is via a dirt road off Cromarty Creek Road, and conditions can become slippery or muddy during the wet season; the area is also subject to flooding at high tide.

A large gravel car park accommodates boat trailers, and free overnight camping is permitted, attracting caravanners, camper trailers, and tent campers. A drop toilet with flushing water is on site.

Sandflies and crocodiles are present in the area, and early-morning boat traffic is common.
