The Kids of the River Trails is a non-profit organization that aims to provide educational and recreational opportunities for children and youth in Barrington. The organization was founded in 2010 by a group of local parents who wanted to create a safe and fun environment for their kids to explore nature, learn new skills, and make new friends. The organization offers various programs and activities throughout the year, such as hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking, gardening, arts and crafts, and more. The Kids of the River Trails also partners with other community organizations and schools to promote environmental awareness, civic engagement, and social responsibility among the participants. The organization's mission is to inspire the next generation of leaders and stewards of the natural world.

The Kids of the River land is off of Scruton Pond Road in the northeast part of Barrington. Going west on Scruton Pond Road from NH-125, the entrance is on the right about 0.5 miles past its intersection with Brewster Road (or 1.5 miles from NH-125). It is on the left about 1.8 miles on Scruton Pond Road. from US-202. There is a small staked sign on the right when you get there. Pull off the road into the small parking area.

From the parking lot, you will see an old town road to the right, marked on the map as “Entry Road.” Walk this road if you must, but it is preferred that you take the Blue Trail (with blue blazes!) that heads into the woods before that. Some of the neighbors abutting the road have been bothered by people right next to their homes, so we try to accommodate their wishes.

After a level stretch, the Blue Trail ascends up to the top of a ledge, where it runs into the White Trail. The ascent is short but steep and rugged, so you will have earned the right to puff a bit when you get to the top!

After admiring the ledge top, take the White Trail down to the left from where the Blue Trail

ends. After a short descent, you will come to the Red Trail. Take it to the left for a pleasant hike through mixed hardwoods, and you will eventually come to a well-established trail that runs parallel to the Isinglass River. Go left, and very soon you will see a short spur that goes down to a picnic table by the river – an excellent spot to stop and enjoy some refreshment! Remember: Leave no trash.

Return to the main trail and go left (the other way soon leads to private land which is posted “No Trespassing). Enjoy this floodplain forest, and the trail will take you to the old town road (also marked as the Red Trail). A left on that leads to an old bridge abutment with good views of the river. Head back on the old town road towards the parking area, and again it is preferred if you take the White and Blue Trails to get back to your car rather than going straight along the town road.
