Bow Lake Beach Access
Bow Lake Beach Access provides a public beach with lifeguards and picnic amenities on Strafford County's 1,150-acre Bow Lake, located mostly in Strafford with some facilities near the dam. Admission is free for local residents and a nominal fee for visitors.
The parking area for the nearby boat ramp is small and fills quickly on good fishing weekends, so arrive early during peak times.
