Trail Overview

The first part of the trail is paved. About 2/3rds of the way in, it becomes rocky and dirty. High clearance is recommended. There is one tricky hairpin about 1 mile from camp. Other than that, it is a relatively easy track. The last bit is super nice because you are driving right along the lake and you get some amazing views.

Difficulty

Most of it is unmentioned forrest road, but there are sections where it get rocky. They are not tricky, but you just cant blast through them. There is also one hairpin that is a tad tricky and visibility on the right line is a bit tough. This is a lot easier if you have a high clearance 4x4, is doable with a stock 4x4.

Made it up and back with no issues. Trail seems rougher than it was a few months ago. No snow on the ground.

Bowman is like others have said, 2/3’s paved with the final section being dirt - honestly an unmaintained fire road, with zero features or obstacles. Once we reached the end, a stock subaru crosstrek and truck w/ trailer was heading the opposite direction. We had air’d down because we were unsure what we would encounter. Completely unnecessary but it does make the ride more comfortable. Alongside the main trail however, are a number of interesting and fun features. Some great stuff to get your feet wet if you’re a beginner like myself. Once you’ve reached the lake, there is a small water crossing thats possible aswell.

Boman Lake can be accessed by the following ride types:
