Bowman Lake Road & Faucherie Lake Road:

Faucherie Lake is my favorite lake in the area. To the very end of the Bowman Lake and Faucherie Lake roads it’s a long drive; so, if you can, make it a long stay or at least 2-3 days. But if you plan to camp at Faucherie Lake plan ahead. Group reservations are often set a year ahead.

See Bowman Lake for camping, boating, and fishing information.
