Barringer Slough Access

Barringer Slough Access provides a designated parking area on the south side of 330th Avenue (approximately 2 miles north of Ruthven) with a gravel lot and access to a public boat launch on adjacent Lost Island Lake that connects directly to the slough.

The site offers informal trails suitable for hiking and paddling opportunities via canoe or kayak through the wetland marsh, with seasonal access restrictions during high water events.

Basic amenities are limited on-site; visitors should plan to use facilities at nearby Lost Island State Park.
