The boat ramp on Bruce Road is one of four public ramps providing access to Lake Tinaroo, the reservoir formed by Tinaroo Falls Dam. The ramps are owned by Transport and Main Roads and managed by Tablelands Regional Council.

Boating, kayaking, sailing, and swimming are all permitted on the lake, though users must observe posted exclusion zones and stay at least 200 metres from the dam wall, as marked by a buoy line.

Operators are advised to read all on-site signage, watch for hazards, and boat to prevailing conditions.
