Mutchero Inlet is a water body located in Queensland, Australia, within the vicinity of the Frankland Group National Park. The inlet is connected to both the Mulgrave and Russell Rivers. Access to the broader area, including the Frankland Islands, is typically by private boat launched from boat ramps on either the Mulgrave or Russell rivers. A significant navigational hazard for boaters, and by extension paddlers, is the presence of sandbars at the mouth of Mutchero Inlet. The waters of Mutchero Inlet and all connecting waterways are closed to all fishing and all water-based activities all year round. This means paddling is not permitted in these waters. The inlet serves as a departure point for accessing the offshore Frankland Group National Park, but the inlet itself is not open for recreational use.
