    • Note: The Pere Marquette River is a National Wild and Scenic River. Because of this status, special regulations apply at Bowman Bridge Campground:

    Between the dates of May 15-September 10, a special watercraft permit is required for all watercrafts being used from the Forks Landing to Indian Bridge Landing. All recreational watercraft must not enter the river before 9am and must exit by 6pm. People fishing legitimately during off hours are exempt. Watercraft Permits can be obtained by calling (616)745-4631.

    Firewood is available at or near the camping facility. Please do not bring firewood from home to the Huron-Manistee National Forest.
