The public boat ramp on the Bloomfield River, located near the Bloomfield River State School in Far North Queensland, provides all-tide access for locals and visitors launching onto one of the region's most scenic waterways.

The concrete ramp sits alongside a small public landing area with historical ties to the late 1800s sugar trade, when vessels loaded cargo here for the journey south to Brisbane.

The facility was badly damaged during ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper and the December 2023 floods, which also tore the adjacent pontoon from its moorings and swept it out to sea.

Maritime Safety Queensland is reinstating both structures in stages through early 2026, delivering a new 15-metre aluminium pontoon capable of accommodating up to six dinghies and a single-lane, four-metre-wide concrete ramp, both purpose-designed to better withstand future extreme weather events.
