The Mahoneys Road Boat Ramp, situated on the Hopkins River, features a single-lane concrete ramp alongside a fixed wooden jetty with a floating platform.
It’s a popular spot for fishing, whether you prefer casting from the bank, wading into the water, or heading out by boat or canoe. Early mornings and evenings, sunrise and sunset, tend to offer the best fishing conditions.
A recently added fish cleaning facility near the ramp adds to the convenience, and there’s a generous parking area close by with room for both cars and trailers. Best of all, the ramp is free for public use.
Beyond boating and fishing, this location is also appreciated for its scenic views. Well-maintained walking paths make it easy to explore the area at your own pace. It’s a peaceful, slightly tucked-away place, ideal for a quiet lunch, a relaxing walk, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the river.
