About this place
Added by Brent Susinger
If you love to kayak in Glacier, this adventure is for you! You'll be treated with incredible views! This is the third largest lake in the park and is not commonly visited since it's a more remote area. But be careful- the water is freezing cold.
The lake is located in the northwestern portion of Glacier National Park, about 32.5 miles from the west entrance and 30 miles from the Canadian Border. From the little town of Polebridge, it is 6 miles north along an unpaved road. The lake is 7 miles long and approx .5 miles wide. Access to the lake is just beyond the campground. More info on the lake can be found here.

Secluded Lake
Bowman is an awesome lake for kayaking, but also for fishing and camping as well. Highly recommended in the north west portion of GNP.
