Bowman Lake State Park is a remote sylvan retreat known as "a camper's
paradise." Scenic park roads wind through evergreen and hardwood forests to
shady campsites. There is a sandy lakefront for swimmers and sunbathers with
several picnic areas nearby. The lake is regularly stocked with trout, and
birdwatchers can spot as many as 103 species of birds. The park also has a
nature center that stocks a self-guiding trail brochure for those who wish
to stroll the nature trail around the lake. In winter, snowmobilers and
cross-country skiers enjoy outstanding scenery on eight miles of designated
trails.
