+Not a ramp but a handy beach launching spot used by FOAM (Federation Of Ancient Mariners).  They sail from here most Thursday mornings unless the weather is bad.  Turn up with your boat, a thermos and something for morning tea and you will have a great time.
 You can back your car right up to the beach and get your boat straight off onto the sand, very handy.  With luck the coffee van will be there.  Toilets are at the back of the car park.

+A beach launch spot at the southern end of the Estuary.   Only suitable for small craft as the shallows are extensive.  A very attractive spot for paddling or rowing across to Heron Point via the island at the southern end.  It is also a good spot to launch from for exploring up the Harvey River.  There is a very nice shady picnic area with toilets.

-A quiet ramp just downstream from Pinjarra.  A nice place to launch from for an explore down the Murray.  In the right conditions a fair bit of (challenging) sailing is possible. However, in general, expect to be motoring or rowing.  Do note that between here and Ravenswood a number of powerlines cross the river.  Some are very high but some are not so and can be hard to see in good time because the trees obscure them.
