Hiking
Governor Bridge Natural Area was once a sand and gravel mining operation, but it has since been restored to its natural state and transformed into a beautiful recreation spot in Bowie. The eight-acre lake is a popular destination for anglers, teeming with largemouth bass, black crappie, sunfish, and catfish. A lovely loop trail around the lake is perfect for hikers and cyclists, and there's a boat launch to access the Patuxent River. As the starting point of the Patuxent Water Trail, this is the perfect place to kick off and conclude a delightful day in this picturesque area.
