Bald Hills, Barungwarra Reserve

The Barungwarra Bushland Reserve boat ramp in Bald Hills sits on the South Pine River, northeast of Brisbane, and serves as a convenient access point for small boats, personal watercraft, and kayaks.

The single-lane concrete ramp is notably steep, and large rocks along the shoreline limit space for beaching vessels, so launching requires some care. The surrounding area is generally quiet and rarely crowded.

From here, paddlers and anglers can explore the tidal South Pine River, with connections to the Tinchi Tamba wetlands and Bald Hills Creek nearby. Fishing from the bank is also possible along the shoreline.

The ramp is usable at various times of day, though no lighting is present, making pre-dawn launches challenging. Tidal conditions influence water depth and current, so checking tides before heading out is advisable.
