I guess you are after local knowledge but did find this http://www.ecan.govt.nz/publications...screenonly.pdf
We always launched off the beach in by the Ryton river mouth.
But is not that easy unless you have a tractor. (i assume you are still allowed to access the lake at that point.
Munsey, its a lake you really need to watch the weather mate, goes from flat arse calm to real pooze in the blink of an eye.
Especially if you hav to go thru the "neck" in the middle of the lake.
@mikee , I've always known that ryton bay was a place you could launch , but I've googled and searched but there is nothing to say there is still access . I always thought there was a proper ramp somewhere . Don't want to tow boat up there to find out I can't launch my boat . Especially my glass boatQuote:
