The Balmoral Boat Ramp is a single-lane concrete ramp situated on the western shore of Lake Macquarie at Fishing Point. This ramp offers direct access to the lake, making it suitable for small to medium-sized vessels. The ramp is a convenient launching point for exploring Lake Macquarie’s waters, including nearby Secret and Eraring Bay.
It is accompanied by a timber jetty that runs parallel to the ramp, assisting with the safe launching and retrieval of boats. The boat ramp is well-sheltered from most wind directions, providing a safe environment for users. The surrounding area is peaceful and residential.
There is moderate parking available for vehicles and boat trailers, with wheelchair accessible entrance and parking lot.
The area is a perfect location for fishing and recreational boating. Facilities at the site include a fish-cleaning table, benches, and public restrooms located across the main road from the ramp's parking lot. There are also designated fish-cleaning stations and bins available for use. Additionally, small canoes are available for rent next to the ramp.
