BOAT RAMP (ref A8): Multi lane all weather launching facility, excellent parking. This ramp utilises Kananook Creek and depth changes are frequent which at times creates navigational hazards. Once leaving the creek the channel direction is generally north west. CAUTION: Beware of sand bars especially at low tide. FCC154 Suits boats to 6m.
