The National Park boat ramp is the main ramp to the saltwater section of the Ross River. This ramp is also known as the Barnacle St Ramp as it is located at the end of this street in South Townsville. To find Barnacle Street, head West out of the city along Railway Avenue. Take a left turn into Doorey St and follow this road to the end. The video below details exactly how to locate this ramp.

While the newer ramp contains a floating walkway and plenty of parking, the ramp is poorly positioned as it is heavily influenced by wind and tide. The ramp is excellent quality and easily used by large boats on almost any tide. I would always launch and retrieve on the lane that is down-current to any tidal influence. This avoids the issue of the tide pushing the boat onto the pontoon. In strong current, driving the boat onto a trailer can also be challenging, as the tide will push out the back end of the boat as you drive up.

Location: 19°16'53.1"S 146°49'29.5"E . More than 5.5 km from a controlled airport, before sunset, more than 30m from people. not over a populous area, and no higher than 120m.
