Town of Fowler Beach on Sylvia Lake
The Public Beach, located at 25 Old Beach Road, Gouverneur, NY, 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, restrooms, and a handwashing station are also on site.
We have a great group of lifeguards led by Claire Knowlton, who meet the needs of all who visit the beach. We are always in need of certified lifeguards who are the age of 16 or older. If you would like to apply, call the Town Clerk at 315-287-0045, ext: 1.
