If you're looking for
a great spot to enjoy some time on the water, the boat ramp at Tinchi Tamba
Wetlands Reserve is the place to be! This popular two-lane concrete ramp makes
it super easy to launch your boat and head out to the Pine River. The unique mix
of freshwater and saltwater in the wetlands creates a vibrant ecosystem where
fish, crabs, and molluscs thrive, making it a favourite destination for
anglers.
Even if you don’t have
a boat, you can still join in on the fun! There’s a handy pontoon just a short
stroll from the ramp where you can cast nets for live bait, and prawns, or
simply fish for bream and herring. And keep your eyes peeled for the amazing
wildlife—pelicans and other birds can often be seen hanging around, especially
for those moments when the fish just aren’t biting.
On busy weekends and
public holidays, won’t need to worry about finding a spot as the ramp have a
large parking area for cars and trailers. Plus, just a few metres away from the
ramp, you’ll find a lovely picnic shelter complete with a BBQ station, perfect
for a tasty meal after your time on the water.
