Magpie Creek boat ramp is located near Kappinghat in the Hallidays Point area of New South Wales. Vehicle access to the boat ramp is via a fire trail off Old Soldiers Road. Paddlers should be aware that this access track can be subject to flooding, which may render it impassable at times, so checking conditions before heading out is advisable.

From the Magpie Creek boat ramp, a downstream paddle of approximately 80 minutes leads to Saltwater at North Diamond Beach, making this a practical one-way trip for those who can arrange a shuttle. The creek connects through to the Diamond Beach area, offering a route through what appears to be bush and coastal terrain typical of the mid-North Coast of NSW.
