The Cannons Creek boat ramp sits on Rutherford Creek and provides access to the Rutherford Inlet and the north-western reaches of Western Port. It is primarily used by local residents for recreational boating and fishing.

In its current state, the ramp is only usable at high tide, has no holding structure, and offers very limited parking.

Better Boating Victoria has identified the site as a priority in the Victorian Recreational Boating Strategy and is working with engineers to explore options that would extend the usable tide range and potentially add a jetty or floating pontoon.

Any future construction is subject to funding.
