Carrington Boat Ramp sits on Throsby Creek in the suburb of Carrington, near Newcastle Harbour, New South Wales.

The facility features a dual-lane concrete ramp with a central pontoon, making it suitable for small to medium-sized boats used for fishing, recreational boating, and kayaking.

Its location also provides convenient access to the Hunter River and, from there, open ocean waters.

The ramp underwent a $1 million upgrade completed in 2021 by Transport for NSW, which included a new pontoon and the capping and sealing of remnant asbestos cement sheeting on the foreshore. The project drew strong praise from local boaters.

Boaters with vessels over 2. 5 metres tall should be mindful of tidal conditions. The calm waters of Throsby Creek also make the area a popular launch point for stand-up paddleboarders.
