Wharf Creek Boat Ramp

Wharf Creek Boat Ramp sits at the head of Lake Wānaka, near the northern end of this 45. 5-kilometre-long lake.

It offers 2WD-accessible launching facilities, making it one of the more convenient options for boaters heading to the upper reaches of the lake without the need for a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

The ramp is a practical base for anglers and recreational boaters exploring the northern stretches of Lake Wānaka, where much of the western shoreline can only be reached by water.

The surrounding area provides shore-fishing opportunities near the launch site as well.
