Pukete Boat Ramp

Pukete Boat Ramp sits on the Waikato River in Hamilton, New Zealand, accessed via an unnamed road off the northern end of Pukete Road, near the Waikato Equestrian Centre at Pukete Farm Park.

It is one of Hamilton's public boat ramps and a convenient launch point for exploring the river through the city, with trips upstream to Hamilton Gardens being a popular outing.

The ramp is occasionally closed for events, with alternative launches available at Roose Commerce Park (Grantham Street) and Narrows Landing. Fish & Game New Zealand notes a gate closure applies at this site, so users should check access times before visiting.
