Barber Pond

Barber Pond is a 28-acre freshwater pond in South Kingstown offering a convenient access point for paddlers and small boaters. The site features a natural gravel shoreline that serves as a boat ramp, making it suitable for launching canoes, kayaks, and car-top boats. A gravel parking lot is available adjacent to the pond. This is a Rhode Island DEM fishing access site with a 10 horsepower motor limit.

The natural gravel launch works well for hand-carried watercraft like kayaks and canoes, though boaters with trailers should use the ramp efficiently to keep access clear for larger vessels. The pond's modest size makes it ideal for paddlers seeking a calm, protected paddling experience. Nearby recreation opportunities include the John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge and Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge, both excellent destinations for wildlife viewing and exploration in the South Kingstown area.
