The Pines Boat Ramp

The Pines Boat Ramp: Positioned at **The Pines Access campground** on the eastern shores of **Blowering Reservoir** (Tumut River) within the **Kosciuszko National Park, NSW**, this facility is managed by the **National Parks and Wildlife Service** (with registries listing ownership under the Snowy Valleys Council). The launching configuration consists of a **dual-lane concrete ramp** that provides high-quality traction, though it does not feature any staging pontoons, floating walkways, or boarding jetties, necessitating manual vessel securing along the lake's banks. As a freshwater reservoir, water levels fluctuate massively due to **seasonal irrigation releases** down the Tumut River, which expose extensive fields of **submerged standing dead trees, rocks, and shallow shoals** as the water recedes. On-site facilities include **toilets, BBQs, and a designated campground**, with car-trailer parking listed as **0–10 spaces** under a Good condition rating with no fee.
