At the entrance to the park, near Lac du Brochet, the pavilion is a new construction owned by the Municipality of Bowman, but managed by the Bowman Forest Regional Park's Board of Directors. It welcomes visitors, provides information and is also a place where tourists can rent outdoor equipment.
The building features a room that can accommodate a maximum of sixty-three people, plus a large terrace - an ideal location for social events. Modern and versatile, the reception pavilion overlooking Lac du Brochet is a landmark that offers comfort and safety, while respecting the environment and minimizing its impact on it.
Two rest areas, the Oak and Cedar rest areas, were inaugurated in 2023. Accompanied by a wood-burning stove, these rest areas allow hikers to take a break and warm up in winter. In addition, they will be upgraded to allow outdoor fires in controlled enclosures and the possibility of picnicking.
Two docks have been installed on the shores of Lac du Brochet and Lac de la Truite. Designed for recreational, interpretive and observation activities, these docks allow visitors to disembark non-motorized boats.
The lakes are ideal for fishing, canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Two additional docks are planned for Lac Desjardins and Lac Cook.
The Bowman Forest Regional Park offers more than 40 climbing routes with an average height of 25 meters. Developed by Les professionnels de la Fédération québécoise de la Montagne et de l'Escalade (FQME), the team played an essential role in clearing the routes and installing fixed anchors. The Park's first routes were set up in 2020 and 2021.
Bowman offers rather technical climbing on small holds on vertical or slab faces, as well as some beautiful traditional cracks. This wall is ideal for families and beginners.
