New Brighton Fishing Park, constructed in 2006 and located on the Beaver River below Townsend Dam, offers wheelchair-accessible fishing facilities including a fishing wharf, canoe launch, ample parking, and 600 feet of shoreline.

Access is available through tunnels at Eighth Street or Eleventh Street off Second Avenue. The park is an ideal put-in point for beginning paddlers heading downstream toward the Ohio River confluence, with most of this section featuring no-wake conditions.
