The ramp provides direct access to the Hopkins River, making it a convenient spot for both casual boaters and local anglers.
It’s a popular all-around ramp, often busy with fishers taking advantage of the excellent river access. Parking is available on the grassy areas nearby, providing plenty of space for cars and trailers. Facilities include public toilets, bins, and a fish cleaning table right beside the ramp, handy for cleaning your catch before heading home.
The nearby jetty is also a favourite fishing spot, where anglers can expect to catch species such as bream, perch, salmon, mulloway, mullet, and even eel. It’s also a reliable place to collect bait shrimp.
From here, boaters can explore the full length of the Hopkins River estuary. Trolling with lures or using live bait is often productive for estuary perch, salmon, and mulloway. Whether you’re heading out for a relaxed day on the water or planning your next fishing trip, the
