The Barnicle Street Boat Ramp (Downstream) sits on the Ross River in Railway Estate, Townsville, Queensland.

It was upgraded by Townsville City Council on behalf of the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads to address a shortage of all-tide recreational boating facilities in the area.

During the upgrade, one half of the ramp was reconstructed to meet TMR standards while the other half was extended to reach the lowest astronomical tide level, with minor shoulder embankment patching also completed.

The facility features a four-lane concrete ramp alongside a pontoon jetty, allowing multiple vessels to launch or retrieve simultaneously. Fish cleaning facilities and parking for cars and trailers are available on site.

The ramp provides direct access to the Ross River and is popular with anglers targeting species such as barramundi.
