Ferry Street Boat Ramp, North Macksville

Ferry Street Boat Ramp: Positioned in Lions Park on Ferry Street in North Macksville, this concrete ramp provides direct launching into the Nambucca River. Launching and retrieval are aided by a walk-on modular pontoon and gangway, which was funded under the Better Boating Programme with a $30,720 grant from the NSW Government. The ramp is highly vulnerable to rapid riverine flood rises, prompting the installation of a real-time flood monitoring camera. Boaters must navigate river currents, limited holiday parking, and active construction hazards from major rehabilitation works on the nearby Macksville Bridge.
