Located at Nielsen Esplanade in Bridgewater, this boat ramp provides access to the River Derwent for recreational boaters and anglers. The facility reopened in late 2025, replacing a ramp closed in 2022 during construction of the new Bridgewater Bridge.

The upgraded site includes a modern boat ramp, jetty, parking, and a turning bay for trailers, offering safer and more accessible launching conditions than its predecessor.

Boaters should note that the demolition of the old Bridgewater Bridge is ongoing until mid-2026, and authorities advise avoiding the demolition zone when travelling upstream.
