Switch Road is a recently rebuilt hand-carry boat launch featuring a paved pull-out with 6 parking spaces (including ADA accessible) and a short, wheelchair-accessible gravel path to a gently sloping riverbank.

The Wood River below this put-in is quiet and scenic but narrow and wooded, with potential downed trees requiring portages; the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Association performs yearly blow-down clearing during summer months.

From this launch, paddlers can reach Woodville Dam 4. 5 miles downriver and continue another 2. 5 miles to Alton Pond take-out.
