The Southern Recreation Area boat ramp at Lake Baroon is located off Baroon Pocket Road, Maleny, on the southern shore of the lake.

It serves as one of two designated launch points for boating on the lake, with the other situated at the Northern Recreation Area near Montville.

Only electric-powered watercraft, sail craft, and paddlecraft are permitted on the water — fossil fuel motors and high-impact activities such as water skiing, jet skiing, and wakeboarding are not allowed.

The ramp can be slippery, so caution is advised when launching. The surrounding park area is noted for being open and sunny, with parking, picnic facilities, and a fenced swimming area nearby.
