Deep Water Bend
Deep Water Bend is on the south bank of the Pine River approximately halfway between Dohles Rocks and the junction of the North and South Pine Rivers.
Getting there
Heading north from Brisbane along the Gympie Arterial Road, take the Strathpine Road exit, turning right at the top of the exit ramp into Hoyland Road. About 0.5km later there is a set of traffic lights. Turn left into Kluver Street and follow it until it swings right into Wyampa Road. Continue on past the picnic area to reach the boat ramp.
Launching
The ramp is single lane concrete. At high tide the rockwalls either side of the ramp form a small bay which makes launching easy by sheltering the ramp from the river's flow. At low tide, this bay disappears and you launch straight into the river.
There is no beach alongside the ramp to pull a kayak onto, only rock walls. For boats there is a pontoon upstream of the ramp.
Facilities
There is a picnic shelter with BBQ along side the boat ramp and more picnic shelters, BBQs, and toilets in the main reserve area.
