Bowie's Scenic Trails

Old Town Bowie is beaming with rich autumn colors and brilliance.

Through the town of Bowie there are numerous nature trails and picturesque walking paths that offer opportunities for relaxation, reflection and recreation. Many of the trails are accessible by foot and others present ample space for cyclists as well as group walks.

On the first cool, sunny day of November 2011 this Bowie trail offers a quiet setting for an evening stroll between a young boy and his father. Brisk walkers, joggers and casual strollers were all out taking in the final days of Autumn 2011 and before the days are shortened by Daylight Saving Time this coming Sunday morning.

Luckily the recent below freezing temperatures and brief snow fall did not blow away the vibrant foliage from the many trees throughout Bowie. It is still time to take in some of the beauty that remains on the limbs that top roadways, walking trails and lawns in Old Town Bowie. Make sure to bring along your camera to preserve the splendor you are sure to encounter.
