Trail Overview

The Bow Lake trail is a narrow, mostly two-track route with a gravel surface that becomes rocky in places. It is frequently wet, with numerous large puddles and potholes along its length, requiring cautious driving. The trail passes by several scenic lakes and rivers, offering a peaceful forested setting. About halfway along, there is a canoe access point that appears to be a popular stop for paddlers. The route is generally straight, though one section curves gently through an especially pristine stretch of forest. Despite its natural beauty, the trail does not include any dispersed campsites and lacks basic services such as potable water or trash disposal. Cell service may be unreliable or unavailable along much of the route, so travelers should plan accordingly before setting out.
