Pine Creek is a 10-kilometre one-way downstream paddle route located near Coffs Harbour on the North Coast of New South Wales. The route flows through Bongil Bongil National Park and is recommended for fit, experienced, and self-reliant paddlers, with a difficulty grade of medium. The journey typically takes three to four hours. Access to the launch point requires a 4WD vehicle. Paddlers should launch at high tide. The put-in is at the Bongil picnic area, reached by taking the Bonville exit from the Pacific Highway onto Pine Creek Way, then turning onto Williams Road north of Bonville. The take-out is at the Bonville Creek boat ramp off Lyons Road in Sawtell, which sits outside the national park boundary. Because it is a one-way route, paddlers must arrange a vehicle shuttle. The upper and lower estuary of Bonville Creek is easily accessible from this boat ramp, while Pine Creek itself is at least two hours upstream from there, potentially requiring a portage. Notable sights include the surrounding Bongil Bongil National Park, and the route offers a paddling experience through a coastal estuary system.
