Goughs Bay on Lake Eildon hosts a series of public boat ramps, including Ramps 6, 7, and 8, which are managed as part of the broader Goughs Bay ramp network on Victoria's Lake Eildon.

These lower-level ramps are notable for remaining operational at relatively low lake levels — Ramp 6 becomes usable above 41. 6% capacity, Ramp 7 above 21. 2%, and Ramp 8 above 21.

65% — making them valuable access points when water levels drop and other ramps around the region are no longer viable.

Lake Eildon itself is one of Victoria's most popular recreational destinations, with 515 kilometres of shoreline and waters that attract boaters, water-skiers, and anglers chasing trout, redfin, and Murray cod.

Launching from Goughs Bay provides direct access to the lake's many quiet inlets and unspoilt bays.

As with all ramps on the lake, a 5-knot speed limit applies within 50 metres of shore, swimmers, and other vessels, and checking current lake levels before launching is strongly recommended.
