About Swallow Rock Reserve
Boat Ramp at Swallow Rock Reserve
Swallow Rock Reserve has a small, shallow boat ramp that is easy to access and is used to launch trailer boats, canoes and kayaks, making the reserve a practical base for paddlers. A pontoon beside the ramp gives easy access to the water, and boat washing areas let owners clean their vessels afterwards. Because the water is calm and shallow, the reserve also suits swimming, and visitors come to fish and watch birds as well.
Picnics and Barbecues at Swallow Rock Reserve

Open fires are not permitted, which makes the barbecues the place to cook. There are no food facilities inside the reserve, so picnickers bring their own food and drinks. Toilets are provided, and a playground gives children somewhere to play while families picnic.
