About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Located in Coventry, Rhode Island on the Big River, Zeke's Bridge Fishing Access offers both vehicle and hand-carried boat launching options. A dedicated boat ramp accommodates trailers, while hand-carried kayaks and canoes can be easily launched approximately 50 feet past the ramp near the parking area. This dual-access setup makes it convenient for paddlers of all types.

**Paddling Opportunities:** From this access point, paddlers typically head south under Zeke's Bridge directly adjacent to the ramp, entering Reynolds Pond. The area offers a scenic route through connected waterways, with a low bridge crossing at the far end of Reynolds Pond providing access to Johnson Pond beyond. The location is popular with both fishing enthusiasts and recreational paddlers, though expect busier conditions during summer months.

**Planning Your Visit:** Respect posted guidelines and avoid blocking the boat ramp if you're hand-launching. The site provides a good starting point for exploring the Big River system and its connected pond waters. Arrive early during peak season for optimal parking and access conditions.
