Viewfinder: Take a Look at Walker Farm in Early Spring

The 30-acre Walker Farm site on Hundred Acre Cove east of County Road is well-known to Barrington residents as a leaf-disposal site, community garden, fishing spot and boat launch area. Now the East Bay Rowing Club wants to launch shells and kayaks from a low-rise dock put in the water just north of the existing dock.

Restored by the Save the Bay environmental organization, Walker Farm includes a concrete boat ramp, a wooden dock and a sand and gravel shoreline used by fishermen and crabbers. The boat ramp offers access to the cove to the north and the Barrington River flowing south.
