Bowmans Island Trail Access offers a scenic 5. 4-mile hiking trail along the Chattahoochee River with two trailheads: one near the Buford Trout Hatchery (southern access) and one at Lower Pool Park near Buford Dam (northern access).

The mostly level trail features boat and canoe launches, picnic areas with grills, restrooms, and ADA-accessible sections, making it suitable for both hikers and anglers seeking river access.

Note that water releases from Buford Dam occur regularly on weekday afternoons with warning sirens, and visitors should be aware of park hours at both access points.
