Bowen Lake has two golf courses sitting side by side—an eighteen-hole links and a nine-hole footgolf layout—which tells you something about how Spencer Township splits the difference between rural and recreational. The township spreads across nearly 24,000 acres of farmland, woods, and water in northeast Kent County, with four lakes offering public boat launches and fishing access. Lincoln Lake's boating site is less than a mile away; Cooper Creek, Bass Lake, and the namesake Bowen Lake all anchor different corners of the landscape. White Pine Park has hiking trails, and Spencer Forest opens up for cross-country skiing and horseback riding when the season shifts. The nearest grocery is a couple of miles down the road, and restaurants cluster in the same direction—this is a place where you plan errands rather than stumble into them.
