Burdekin Falls Dam | Boat ramp reopened

Posted on by app_community

Update 1 – Tuesday, 21 April 2026, 11:18am

The boat ramp at Burdekin Falls Dam (Lake Dalrymple) has reopened today.

The dam however continues to spill, so all recreational users should exercise caution and observe a temporary 1,000 metre exclusion zone. The spillway road continues to remain closed at this time.

  • No boating, fishing or water activities within 1,000 metres of the dam spillway (temporary expanded exclusion zone)
  • Beware of exposed and submerged hazards
  • Obey all information signs, wear lifejackets and take extra care

The boat ramp and recreation area were closed in the monsoon event in January 2026, which resulted in the buoy line being significantly damaged. The buoy line is currently being replaced, and we will provide an update when this work is complete.

Please be aware of potential risks at Lake Dalrymple and ensure your vessel is in good condition, properly equipped and maintained, and operated safely.
