Switch Road Access is a recently rebuilt canoe and kayak launch on the Wood River featuring a paved pull-out with 6 parking spaces (including ADA accessible parking) and a short, wheelchair-accessible gravel path to a gently sloping riverbank.

The site provides access to a quiet, wooded stretch of river that is narrow and winding upstream, broadening into a marshy pond before the Woodville Dam (4. 5 miles downstream), which can be portaged.

Downed trees are a possibility on this stretch, though the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Association performs regular clearing during summer months.
