About Fowler, NY

The Town of Fowler began in 1816 and was named for Theodosius Fowler, (1753-1841) a local landowner, who had served as a Captain in the American Revolution.

Fowler is located in southwest St. Lawrence County and borders the towns of Rossie, Gouverneur, Hermon, Edwards, Pitcairn, and Antwerp.

The Oswegatchie River's main and west branches flow through Fowler with scenic portages. The town is a beautiful setting for the Gouverneur Country Club and home to the Sylvia Lake community.

FYI: Sullivan Road Recreation Area / Boat Launch

 

Effective immediately the Hollow Dam Project on the Sullivan Road has ceased operation and the Ampersand Company will not be renewing their lease. Ownership of the property at that location has reverted to the prior owners who will no longer offer any public access to the picnic area and the river. Should a new lease be acquired the owners will revisit the situation.
