Maylands
This is a pleasant ramp surrounded by parkland that gives you access to the river between Garratt Road Bridge (2.6m) and the Causeway (2.9m). A nice expedition is to head downstream to Heirisson Island stopping at the small basin that is on the northern side of the island before the Causeway. You pass under the Windan Bridge (6.8m) and the Matagarup Bridge (6.4m)
Goodwood Parade
This ramp is right on the freeway and tends to be busy with water ski boats. The Maylands ramp just on the other side of the river is so much nicer.
Abernethy Road Ramp
This ramp gets you into the river between Garrett Road Bridge and the Causeway from the southern side of the river.
Memorial Drive
Sandy Beach Reserve
Not a ramp and as a beach launch spot it is only suitable for kayaks. However, it is a nice place to stop at if you are cruising up the river.
