Haines Memorial Park - Bullock Cove

**Location & Access:** Haines Memorial Park in Barrington offers a state-owned concrete boat ramp providing convenient access to Bullock Cove and the lower Providence River. The facility features floating docks on both sides of the ramp, with the north-side dock including a wheelchair-accessible ramp—making it a good option for paddlers with mobility needs.

**Water Conditions & Paddling:** From this launch, kayakers and canoeists can explore the sheltered waters of Bullock Cove before venturing into the lower Providence River and the headwaters of Narragansett Bay. Be aware that Bullock Cove experiences heavy recreational boat traffic, which may affect paddling conditions. The proximity to the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve offers opportunities for exploring these productive coastal waters.

**Practical Information:** This is a handicapped-accessible facility with adequate parking and dock infrastructure for launching. Given its popularity, arriving early during peak season is recommended to secure parking and avoid congestion, particularly on weekends.
