Located just upstream from the historic North Bourke Bridge on the Darling River, the Bourke Boat Ramp is one of the most popular spots in the region for both locals and visiting travellers.

The site offers direct river access amid a landscape of interconnected sandbars, sweeping bends, rock bars, and large gum trees lining the banks.

The sandy beach area around the ramp is well suited to water skiing and general river recreation, and it serves as an ideal launch point for those wanting to explore the Darling by boat.

The area also provides a great vantage point to watch the paddleboat Jandra navigate the bend and pass beneath the lift-span bridge. Barbecues and shaded picnic tables are available on site.
