Claughton Reserve

Claughton Reserve is a boat launching ramp on the Swan River (Derbal Yerrigan) in the Bayswater suburb of Perth, Western Australia.

It is one of several designated ramp facilities on the Swan and Canning Rivers managed by Transport WA, and is accessed via Katanning Road. Parking is oriented toward cars with boat trailers.

Beyond the ramp itself, the reserve offers barbecues, picnic benches, and grassy riverbank areas popular with anglers.

A notable landmark on site is an artistically transformed toilet block — known informally as the "turtle toilet" — designed by Duncan Moon with a roof modelled on a tortoise carapace.

The ramp provides views across the river toward the boardwalk at Ayres Bushland.
