Mangrove Creek is a tidal estuary waterway located in New South Wales, Australia, accessible from the Clarence River. The primary access point for paddlers is the Chatsworth boat ramp on the Pacific Highway, which serves as a starting point for a popular route. From this ramp, paddlers head south to round the southern tip of Warregah Island, then proceed north along the "Back Channel." After passing under a bridge, a left turn leads into Mangrove Creek itself. The creek can be paddled for at least five kilometres inland, with faster paddlers able to explore further. A complete circumnavigation of Warregah Island, including a five-kilometre excursion up Mangrove Creek, totals approximately 23 kilometres, though paddlers can choose their own distance up the creek to tailor the trip length. Another concrete boat ramp, known as Spencer ramp, is located directly on Mangrove Creek at GPS coordinates -33.45795, 151.14718. This single-lane ramp provides estuary access and is not recorded as being tide-dependent. Facilities at the Spencer ramp include toilets. The overall character of the paddling experience involves exploring a backchannel and a mangrove-lined creek, with the route offering flexibility in distance. Paddlers should be aware that tidal conditions can significantly affect the experience, as evidenced by notes of paddling during low tide. While paddle sports like canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding are permitted, it is recommended to always check if a permit is required before embarking.
