The Lakes Drive Boat Ramp, located in Tweed Heads West, offers a single-lane concrete ramp with an adjacent jetty and provides direct access to Terranora Creek. It's a convenient spot to launch small boats, and generally remains quieter than some of the busier ramps nearby.

The ramp and jetty are in good condition, though space is limited and launching can become congested at times, especially since boats can only be launched from the jetty as there’s no beach area for side access due to the surrounding rock walls. Tidal flow can also be strong, so it’s worth checking the tide before heading out, particularly when retrieving your boat in an outgoing tide or windy conditions.

Parking is limited, and vehicles often park in the turning area, which can make manoeuvring trailers a bit challenging. That said, the area is peaceful and makes for a pleasant spot to fish with the kids or enjoy a quiet walk along the water.

While not without its quirks, the Lakes Drive Boat Ramp is a handy launch point into Terranora Creek for those looking for a relaxed, local spot with decent access and a calm setting.
