Hampton Inn Bowie is a brilliant place to get some rest, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Anacostia River. At Allen Pond through the summertime months highs are in the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the 60's. For the duration of the winter this place gets highs in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Allen Pond | |

There is also a resident blue heron that can often be found on the shore of the lake or amongst the greenery on the little island in the middle. All in all, tho... |
