Cowan Lake State Park offers a peaceful setting complete with scenic inlets laden with the American Lotus water lily. Swimming, fishing, sailing, kayaking and canoeing are popular on the lake.
Meandering trails through mature woodlands complement the natural features of this scenic 1,775-acre park.
Introducing Cowan Lake Fishing Song. Singer and Song writter is William Randall Sporing. William graciously gave us permission to post his song for everyone to enjoy. We love it and hope you do as well!
