RI 1 . Bowdish Reservoir Floating Bogs. Acreage: 20 estimated. 



Location: Providence County; Thompson Quadrangle; 5 miles W of Chepachet; 

 reached via Rt. 44. 



Description: Islands with typical bog species. They vary in size, but all are small, 

 mostly less than 0.25 acre. 



Encroachments: Bowdish Reservoir is fairly well developed with summer and 

 year-round homes. Islands normally are not in danger of encroachment unless 

 they end up in an individual's bathing area, etc. It appears that these are too 

 small to be considered Natural Landmarks. 



Ownership: Not known. 



Data source: John M. Cronan, Division of Conservation, 83 Park St., 

 Providence, R.I. 02900.
