The Emigrant Creek Boat Ramp on River Street in West Ballina offers a reliable, two-lane concrete ramp that provides all-tide access into the Emigrant Creek waterway. It’s a straightforward and well-constructed launch point, suitable for a range of small to medium-sized vessels.
Boaters should take care when navigating the first sections of the creek, particularly on the northern side, where the waters can be quite shallow. Vessels with a draft of 1.2 metres or more are advised to enter only during high tide to avoid grounding.
The site is equipped with a floating pontoon for convenient loading and unloading, along with ample space for trailer parking. While facilities are minimal, there is a shaded seating area available for those looking to take a short break before or after heading out on the water.
