Boat Ramp

Located at Butlers Gorge on the southern end of Lake King William in Tasmania's West Coast region, this single-lane concrete boat ramp is owned and managed by Parks and Wildlife Service. A 4WD vehicle is recommended for access.

The ramp is generally useable at most water levels, making it the more reliable launch point on the lake compared to informal northern access points off the Lyell Highway, which can be affected by the lake's highly variable water levels.

Boaters are encouraged to practise minimal-impact techniques, particularly in shallow areas — accelerating gently to avoid propeller wash that stirs up silt, clouds the water, and damages aquatic plant beds and fish habitat.

Fishing from a boat within 100 metres of a shore-based angler is prohibited unless the vessel is securely moored.
