Fowler Park

Loved the pioneer village!

On our family road trip, we decided to stop at Fowler Park for a picnic. Not being from the area, we had no idea that there was an old pioneer village on the property with some original buildings from the area and some replicated. What a treat!

There were so many fun cabins within the village! Gristmill, Fur Cabin, Carpenter Shop, Church, 1840’s School, Blacksmith Shop, Trading Post and lots of homes between! None of them were open when we were there, but we were able to peer through the windows and visualize what life was like during those times.

The Grist Mill was very cool with a working water wheel. If you looked inside, you could see the mechanisms at work. The church had the pews lined up for Sunday mass wow the 1840s School house had their dunce caps perched on the stools ready for anybody who misbehaved.

I just love the rustic design of this village. It makes for some amazing photography shots! Beautiful lake!

A family could definitely survive in this village back in the day. Everything was right here around you. It was a fun day getting a chance to step back in time.

Would highly recommend!

Hours are 7am-7pm everyday.

Notes: Public restroom, dogs allowed, picnic tables.

Public park with a playground, picnic areas, fishing, trails, covered bridge and camping facilities.

I spent the entire day out at Fowler Park today and fell in love with the place ! It is however April and the restrooms need to all be opened ! I am excited to go during pioneer days as I have never been !! This is a beautiful park !

Great park staff, family friendly. Nice little spot for us to camp for the night. Showers and bathroom were clean.

In the past I would have recommended Fowler Park to anyone wanting a nice place to camp. After a week of camping this June, not so much. They have let some kind of nasty moss take over the lake, so a lot of the campsites are covered in goose poop you can’t hardly walk around your site. The beach is the same way. Before, 5 stars, now a 2

Pretty clear water. Fun with a sandy little beach. Downfall and a major disappointment, swimming closes at 6pm. Dumb!
