Bowman Lake Trail Fishing Access Site

Bowman Lake Trail Fishing Access Site provides access to a remote 7-mile-long lake in Glacier National Park's northwestern corner via a rough, unpaved road (20-25 mph average speed; trucks with trailers and RVs not recommended).

The site offers a boat ramp suitable for motorboats (10hp or less), kayaks, canoes, and pontoons, along with a 48-site campground with potable water and pit toilets during peak season (late May–early September).

From May 1–June 15, an area extending 400 yards from shore between the Bowman Lake Ranger Station and the outlet is closed to fishing to protect spawning westslope cutthroat trout.
