The River Street Boat Ramp sits on the Pioneer River in Mackay and serves as one of the region's main multi-lane, all-tide launch sites.

It features a dual-lane ramp and a floating jetty, making it well suited to small and medium-sized boats; those with larger vessels are generally directed to the Mackay Marina or Victor Creek ramps.

Launching is possible at any tide, though high tide or the top half of the tidal cycle is recommended for the smoothest experience. The Pioneer River's current can be assertive during launching and docking, so maintaining a firm hold on the boat is advised.

Anglers fishing from the pontoon should clear their lines whenever a vessel is coming in or out. As with all tropical waterways in the region, boaters are reminded to remain aware of crocodiles and marine stingers.
