Barringer Slough Access

Barringer Slough Access provides a public boat ramp on Lost Island Lake with a gravel parking area located off 330th Avenue, approximately 2 miles north of Ruthven in Clay County.

The access point serves as the primary entry for paddlers and anglers accessing the 1,526-acre Barringer Slough Wildlife Management Area, which features restored wetland habitats suitable for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.

Note that access may be seasonal and subject to closures during high water events to protect habitats.
