Information

The Wilson Inlet is located less than 1km from the township of Denmark and is fed from the Denmark and Hay Rivers. It is over 20km long and is abundant with a variety of fish and bird life.

Despite its shallow depth of only 2-4 metres this large inlet produces catches of cobbler, King George whiting, pink snapper, mullet, salmon trout, tailor and some very large flathead to those that fish from a boat. Fishing restrictions apply so ensure you have a WA recreational boat fishing licence (RBFL) and understand the rules and regulations - especially of pink snapper. Also, at certain times of the year, the inlet can be abundant with prawns and blue manna crabs.

There are 3 boat launch options for Wilson Inlet. A boat ramp at Rivermouth Caravan Park (Inlet Drive) is probably the most convenient for larger boats. A fish cleaning station with runner water, and hose can be used to wash fish and boat engines. Public toilet by ramp and bait shop in caravan park.

Many species of land and water birds can be seen around the Wilson Inlet including pelicans and black swans.
