Mackay, River Street

The River Street Boat Ramp sits on the Pioneer River in Mackay, Queensland, offering a multi-lane, all-tide facility suitable for small to medium boats. A floating pontoon aids launching and retrieval, and ample parking is available nearby.

Larger vessels are generally better served by the Mackay Marina ramp. Tidal conditions are worth considering before launching — the top half of the tide is recommended, particularly at unfamiliar ramps.

The Pioneer River's current can be assertive during launching and docking, so maintaining control of your vessel is important. As with all tropical Queensland waterways, users should remain aware of crocodiles and marine stingers.

The ramp also draws baitfish, making the pontoon a reasonable spot for casual fishing when boat traffic is light. A park area with picnic seating is located close by.
