The Bolton Point Boat Ramp, located in the quiet lakeside suburb of Bolton Point, NSW, provides a calm and scenic spot to launch into Lake Macquarie.
Positioned on the lake’s western side, this single-lane concrete ramp is best suited for small to medium-sized boats and is a convenient entry point for fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and other water activities.
While there’s no pontoon, the adjacent sandy shoreline makes launching and retrieving watercraft fairly straightforward, especially for kayakers who will find the early morning conditions particularly calm and inviting.
The ramp is easy to access and popular among locals, offering a more peaceful experience than some of the busier ramps around the lake. There’s plenty of parking available for both vehicles and trailers.
Just a short walk from the ramp is a jetty that’s great for land-based fishing, with bream and flathead commonly caught in the area.
Surrounding the ramp is Bolton Point Park, a green and inviting space with lovely views over the lake. The park is well-equipped, featuring a children’s playground, public toilets, picnic areas, a basketball court, BBQ shelters, and a community hall.
It’s a pleasant, low-key place to launch a boat, enjoy a paddle, or relax with family and friends by the water. Visitors should note that while the location is well-kept and inviting, the facilities are relatively basic, so planning ahead is recommended.
