The Thornton boat ramp on the Goulburn River in Victoria serves as a convenient access point for paddlers and boaters exploring this stretch of the river.

Located near Point Hill Streamside Reserve, the area offers adequate parking and a well-regarded launching ramp suitable for getting watercraft onto the river.

The Goulburn River here runs cold and crystal clear, with water released from the depths of Lake Eildon just 8 km upstream.

The surrounding reach meanders across the floodplain, occasionally pressing against steep valley walls, making it a scenic put-in point for those paddling downstream toward landmarks such as Gilmores Bridge.

According to the Goulburn River Boating Guide, ramps in this area are categorised by surface type, including concrete and gravel options, with some matting-equipped ramps suited specifically to canoes, kayaks, and small craft that can be hand-launched rather than trailer-launched.
