Windamere Dam Boat Ramp

Windamere Dam Boat Ramp: Positioned on **Cudgegong Road** within the **Cudgegong Waters Park** on the southern foreshore of Windamere Dam, NSW, this is the only boat ramp providing access to the reservoir. Managed by **Cudgegong Waters Park**, the facility is configured as a **dual-lane concrete ramp** with a Good condition rating, but has no staging pontoons, floating walkways, or boarding jetties established. Boaters face highly volatile pool levels due to agricultural irrigation drawdowns; this introduces **severe low-water shoaling hazards** where waterway access becomes shallow at times and operators risk striking **unmarked submerged rocks, standing dead timber, and shallow mudflats**. Excellent on-site amenities include **powered/unpowered camping, standard self-contained cabins (some with ensuites), a public toilet block, BBQ areas, waste bins, a kiosk, and a children's playground**, supported by a large parking area providing **51+ car-trailer spaces** and requiring a payable fee.
