What Is A Good Boat Ramp On The Northside

[GregOug]

Hi all. Does anyone have a good ramp on Brisbane Northside? I usually use the Pinkenba boat ramp near the mouth of the river but it is steep and slippery as the tide falls. I used to use the Nudgee Beach boat ramp which is a good ramp and has pontoons but the entrance to the bay is very shallow on low tide with a bit of rock bar which can damage your prop. Any suggestions welcome.

nudgee is a pain at low tide. doable but just needs a bit of local knowledge

otherwise scarborough is great

+1 for scarborough.  two ramps in the boat harbour, both are great.  there's also what was a good ramp at pelican park, haven't used it for ages so can't comment on what it is currently like.

theres a decent ramp just upstream of the marina in cabbage tree creek but havent' tried it with anything other than my kayak.

Spinnaker sound is also a great ramp, albeit a bit further north.

Pelican park is pretty good. There is a funny reef that you would want to watch but it has a pontoon and plenty of parking. Its not a big one.

Thanks @benno573. Might have a look at the pelican park one sometime.

Hey GregOug

Looks like everyone on here has chipped in and given you some good information, so I hope it goes well.

Any local tackle stores may have a couple in the know as well.

Cheers Hamish
