Confirmed from Fowler Lake Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Community park on the banks of Fowler Lake featuring a basketball court, picnic areas & fishing.

A great place to take your Family. Playground is very nice for your kids, they have an area where you can shoot hoops or play tennis. Plan a picnic, go fishing or relax by the lake. Town is near by so you can walk or ride your bike too. Beautiful area.
A boardwalk located on Fowler lake is beautiful stroll in Oconomowoc. Located near many of the restaurants and bars. There is a place for fishing and chairs if just want to relax
Fowler Lake Park has a nice playground for big kids and a smaller one for the little kids. It has a pier you can walk out onto and go fishing or fish along the shoreline. They have covered area with picnic tables.
Lake front, play equipment, a dock with unpaved (but cleared) walking trails. The entrance was a nightmare due to construction but unrelated to the area. Woodfire grills built into the picnic area. Crystal clear water is a plus!
