Lower King Boat Ramp

The Lower King Boat Ramp, situated in the locality of Lower King within the City of Albany, is a modest dual-lane concrete facility that serves as a convenient launching point for recreational boaters.

The site includes two jetties—one public and one private (gated)—with the public jetty positioned between the two ramp lanes, making it particularly useful for mooring or retrieving boats. The ramp is well sheltered and generally safe to use, though it’s worth noting that water levels can become quite shallow during low tide.

There is ample open-air trailer parking available nearby, though visitors are advised to secure their vehicles. The area is known for its peaceful setting and community atmosphere, often frequented by locals walking their dogs or gathering on the grassed areas nearby. It's also a scenic spot for photography and casual fishing from the jetty, with pelicans, seagulls, and other birdlife common in the area.

While the overall environment is quiet and pleasant, there are a couple of drawbacks to keep in mind. The on-site toilet is a non-flushing drop facility, which can occasionally be unpleasant, and there is no lighting available after dusk. Boaters and evening visitors should plan ahead and bring appropriate lighting if staying past sunset.

Overall, the Lower King Boat Ramp offers a quiet, functional launching point with a relaxed atmosphere, suitable for those heading up the rivers or out toward the ocean.
