River Heads Inside Ramp. Rating *** 3

2 Lanes. Ramp reasonably sheltered even in windy conditions. Ramp higher than surrounding beach causes awkward launch and especially retrieval. Ramp very slippery at low tide.

The larger rocks around the ramp can be dangerous to boats and people. Gives access to Great Sandy Strait, Fraser Island, Woody Island, the Picnic Islands, Little Woody Island, Mary River and Susan River.

Eastern [outside] Ramp:Rating ** 2

Ramp exposed at high tide to some swells and waves. Ramp much higher than surrounding beach causes awkward launch and especially retrieval. Ramp very slippery at low tide. The larger rocks around the ramps can be dangerous to boats and people.

Gives access for all small to medium sized boats to Great Sandy Strait including Fraser Island, Woody Island, the Picnic Islands, Little Woody Island, Mary River and Susan River.

Car and trailer parking – Excellent, although limited on busy days.

Facilities - Rubbish bins. Well lit at night. Tap at shelter shed near rigging area near inside ramp. [Bring own connector [large size] for hose].
