Balcolyn Boat Ramp

Balcolyn Boat Ramp at Shingle Splitters Point is a single-lane concrete ramp located at the end of Queen Street in Balcolyn, on the quiet western shore of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales.

It provides direct access to Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake via a shallow but manageable channel, making it best suited for small to medium-sized vessels.

The ramp surface is generally in fair condition, though algae buildup can create slip hazards, particularly at low tide. Bollard spacing may make trailer maneuvering difficult for some users.

Designated parking is available but sits some distance from the ramp and can fill quickly on weekends and holidays.
