To relax or just fish a bit you might want to visit one of the two lakes owned by the city of Bowling Green. Jack Floyd Memorial lake is about forty acres of water and has a boat dock and fishing dock. West Lake, which is the larger of the two, is used for canoeing. Here is the best part; both lakes stocked with bass, catfish and sunfish by the Missouri Department of Conservation. While you are in town take a stroll over to the Champ Clark House which is a National Historic Landmark and regional museum open to the public. Here you can see exhibits of collections related to the personal lives and political legacies of the Clark family and records and the heritage of public service by elected office-holders from Pike County and Northeast Missouri.
