It’s on the topo maps, was wet in spring 2010 and reportedly of late as well, and it’s arguably your best water source in the 40+ miles between Kentucky Camp and La Posta Quemada Ranch, despite going unreported through the usual channels.
Bowman Spring is located about 3 miles north of the mp 6.7 stock pond in passage 5, 0.3 mi. west of the trail. Where the trail, following a dirt road, comes to a junction with another road signed ‘dead end,’ head the opposite way, west, through a gate, then follow a faint road paralleling the fenceline north. Stay with this road as it jogs west then heads down into a pretty, secluded canyon. Where the road ends at the canyon bottom, continue up the wash to an old rusty trough, then walk up a small side canyon following a PVC pipe to a round cement tank with float valve. Full and good quality when observed, with the spring source nearby in the drainage. Good camping in the vicinity.
