The Bundaberg North Lions Park Boat Ramp, located on Queen Street (at Edina Street) in Bundaberg, provides access to the Burnett River. This is one of several public boat ramps managed by Bundaberg Regional Council along the river and surrounding waterways.

The Burnett River is navigable for approximately 10 miles below Bundaberg, making this stretch a practical launch point for boating and fishing activity. The river continues northeast from Bundaberg before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Burnett Heads.
