Merri River - Dennington Ramp

The Dennington Boat Ramp is a single-lane concrete ramp located at the end of Drummond Street along the lower Merri River, near Dennington in Warrnambool, Victoria. It provides straightforward water access for small to medium-sized boats.

A pontoon sits adjacent to the ramp, offering a spot for land-based fishing. Trout are commonly caught in this stretch of the river, which remains open during the closed season — a notable draw for local anglers.

The surrounding area includes BBQ stations, picnic tables, and accessible washrooms, as well as a children's playground and basketball court nearby.

The Merri River takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning "rocky" and flows through a peaceful setting where visitors may also encounter local wildlife along the riverbank.
