Bowman Lake Trail Access
Bowman Lake Trail Access
Bowman Lake Trail Fishing Access Site provides access to Bowman Lake in the remote northwestern corner of Glacier National Park, reached via a rough, unpaved road from Polebridge that requires high-clearance vehicles.
The site offers a 48-site campground with potable water (peak season) and pit toilets, making it an ideal base for fishing and boating in this secluded mountain setting.
Note that a reservation is required to access this area during main summer months, and the bumpy dirt road averages only 20-25 mph.
