Barringer Slough WMA offers a public boat launch on adjacent Lost Island Lake providing water access to this 1,526-acre wetland complex, with a designated parking area located off 330th Avenue south of Ruthven.

The area features informal trails along dikes suitable for hiking and paddling, with no developed on-site facilities; visitors should plan to use amenities at nearby Lost Island State Park.

Access may be seasonal with some roads potentially closed during high water events to protect habitats.
