Town of Fowler Beach on Sylvia Lake
The Public Beach is owned and operated by the Town of Fowler with guidance from the NYS Board of Health (Canton Office). The beach is open seven days a week from the end of June to the end of August. Certified lifeguards are on duty during the posted hours of operations. (10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) Handicapped and public parking is located in relative proximity to the beach entrance.
The beach has a picnic area with tables and charcoal grills for public use. Changing rooms, rest rooms, and a handwashing station are also on site.
We have a great group of lifeguards led by Claire Knowlton, who met the needs of all who visited the beach in 2022.
We encountered some unforeseen regulations with regards to installation of steps for our seniors and smaller children. We are working with the NYS Board of Health to provide a safe entry to the lake for 2023.
