Lake MacDonald has two boat ramps providing access to this freshwater reservoir on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, near Cooroy.

One ramp is located at Mary River Cod Park on Collwood Road, accompanied by a pontoon, while the more popular western ramp sits at Lake MacDonald Park on Lake MacDonald Drive, adjacent to the Noosa Botanic Gardens.

Both ramps are managed by South East Queensland Water Corp. Only non-motorised and electric-motor boats are permitted on the lake — no motorised boating or water skiing is allowed.

A Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) is required for fishing, as the lake has been stocked with native species. A boat wash-down area is available at the Lake MacDonald Park ramp, along with covered picnic tables, free BBQs, and views across the water.
