The Bevington access site on the Beaver River near Wampum provides a well-maintained public launch point for paddlers and boaters. This facility features a concrete small-motor boat launch, ADA-accessible parking, and a walking path. The site includes informational kiosks and fishing access along the riverbanks, making it suitable for both launching and extended riverside use.
The Beaver River in this area offers Class I waters ideal for beginner paddlers and canoeists. Note that the river has shallow sections where motorized boats may have limited navigation, particularly during lower water levels. Paddlers should be aware of Irish Ripple, a rapid located at a nearby railroad bridge in Wampum that occurs during high water conditions. The access area also serves as a respite point along the North Country Trail, providing a scenic stop for multi-day paddling trips.
