Situated inland along the banks of Budgewoi Creek, the Budgewoi Creek Boat Ramp is a quieter single-lane ramp that offers a more relaxed and low-traffic alternative to the main Budgewoi Boat Ramp.
Surrounded by residential streets, it serves as a handy access point for kayakers, solo anglers, or anyone launching a light watercraft into the creek. From here, users can navigate into Budgewoi Lake or head further into Lake Munmorah, depending on water conditions and vessel type. The area is scenic and calm, often used by locals for morning paddles or light fishing sessions.
The ramp is made of concrete, but it is simpler than its beachside counterpart. It features a pontoon that can be used as a fishing platform; however, launching can be tricky during low tide due to the shallow waters. There are fish cleaning stations or wash-down bays available as well.
Parking for cars and trailers is limited to approximately 5 to 8 unmarked spaces along the roadside. Nevertheless, the quiet atmosphere is a significant advantage for those seeking an undisturbed experience close to nature.
With minimal infrastructure, amenities are limited to grassy verges and some natural shade. Still, the ramp serves its purpose well for its intended users: those looking for peaceful, creek-side access to the local waterways without the bustle of the more developed ramps.
It's a practical choice for nearby residents and returning paddlers who prefer simplicity over crowds. Visitors are best to come prepared due to the limited facilities available.
