The Fry Street
Boat Ramp, also known as Lower Grafton boat ramp, is situated in Grafton, New
South Wales, providing easy access to the Clarence River. The ramp is in good
condition, offering a single concrete lane setup that accommodates various
types of watercraft.
For those
visiting, caution should be exercised during low water levels as shallow areas
can make navigation tricky in some spots.
While there is
a large area to park cars and trailers, it can fill up pretty quickly during
peak times, so visitors should arrive early to secure a spot. The Clarence
River offers calm, expansive waters, ideal for boaters and fishers alike.
While
the ramp can handle small-to-medium-sized vessels, larger boats may find it
less suitable due to the lack of significant infrastructure like pontoons or
jetties. However, for smaller boats and kayaks, this ramp offers excellent
accessibility. It is an excellent spot for families and casual anglers seeking
an easy launch to the river.
The surrounding
area is equipped with basic amenities, including parking for trailers and a
nearby park for families to enjoy. There is also a small boat shop beside the ramp.
It’s an ideal spot for those looking for a quick getaway on the water and looking
for fishing opportunities and taking in the scenic beauty.
