Semi-Primitive areas with National Forests are protected from vehicular travel and are characterized by a predominantly natural or natural-appearing environment with a moderate probability of experiencing isolation from the sights and sounds of man. There are over 1100 acres in the Bowman Lake SPA, characterized by glacial features including: Bowman Lake (a kettle lake), kettle hole wetlands, leatherleaf bogs, kames, moraines, and a post-glacial blowout hole. There are approximately 10 miles of loop and spur trails within the Bowman Lake Semi-Primitive Area. These trails intersect with the 3 included miles of North Country Trail at the 56th St. and 40th St. Trailheads, and also come within a few feet of each other at about the midpoint of the largest loop. All trails are open for hiking, bicycling, snowshoeing and skiing (not groomed).
