Tucked away in the
historic village of Tumbulgum, this scenic single-lane concrete boat
ramp—complete with a jetty on the side—is a favorite among boaters looking for
a peaceful and picturesque launch spot.
Surrounded by lush
greenery and charming riverfront homes, the Tumbulgum Boat Ramp gives you
direct access to the upper reaches of the Tweed River, where you can follow the
Rous River Canoe Trail through sheltered bays with stunning views of Mt
Warning/Wollumbin. Whether you're planning a relaxing cruise, a watersports
adventure, a picnic on the riverbank, or a day of fishing, this ramp is a great
starting point. It’s popular with canoeists, kayakers, and small motorised
boats, but you’ll also see larger cabin boats cruising through.
If you want to take in
the beautiful riverside scenery, there are picnic areas right on the waterfront
where you can sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Toilets are just a
few meters from the ramp for added convenience.
Parking is limited,
with spaces available along the roadside, so plan accordingly.
