Barton River Access provides public fishing and paddling access to the Barton River in Orleans County, with the lower river offering relaxing flat-water paddling through the 1,800-acre South Bay Wildlife Management Area.

The Coventry Station Access serves as an ideal put-in for paddlers, with the option for a one-way trip downstream to Newport, passing through remote wetland habitats and offering opportunities to observe wildlife including great blue herons and snapping turtles.
