The North Rockhampton Boat Ramp, located in The Common, Rockhampton, offers convenient access to the Fitzroy River and is a well-designed, all-weather facility. It features a four-lane concrete ramp with a central pontoon, providing easy launching and retrieval at any tide. The area is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with solar lighting for visibility at night.

The river here is known for its muddy conditions, so caution is advised, especially around submerged rocks that may be hidden at high tide.

Boaters should also take care near the train bridge and the barrage, where the waterway is considered a danger zone. Despite this, the area is popular for barramundi fishing and crabbing, making it a great launch point for local anglers.

There’s plenty of sealed parking available for boats and trailers, though facilities are minimal; no toilets are on site, but rubbish bins are provided. Swimming in the river is not permitted.

Overall, it’s a practical and reliable ramp with good access for fishing and boating on the Fitzroy, offering a straightforward setup for those who prefer a no-fuss, functional launch point.
