The Tumbi Umbi Boat Ramp, located at The Peninsula in Killarney Vale, offers 24-hour access to both Tuggerah Lake and Tumbi Umbi Creek. The ramp has a small wooden jetty beside. It's best suited for small to medium-sized watercraft, although launching can be challenging during very low tide, particularly for solo boaters.
Shallow muddy water conditions are common at low tide, so users are encouraged to take care. There have been calls from the community for dredging, as sediment build-up has at times made launching difficult.
Amenities at the ramp are limited to a picnic bench, a table, and rubbish bins. Parking is available but can be limited, so it is advisable to arrive early, especially on weekends or holidays, to secure a parking space. Be prepared to park along the side of the road if necessary.
The surrounding area is quiet and scenic, offering a calm environment that’s particularly well suited to kayaking, canoeing, or simply enjoying a peaceful outing on the water. However, with limited facilities on-site, visitors are advised to come prepared.
Overall, Tumbi Umbi Boat Ramp provides straightforward access to the lake and creek in a relaxed natural setting, though it’s best suited for those who don’t require many extras.
