[2] The land on which Fowlers Hollow State Park sits was clear cut during the early 1900s (decade).

The Perry Lumber Company built a narrow-gauge railroad on the former Path Valley Railroad bed from New Germantown to the area of what is now Big Spring State Forest Picnic Area.

The standing lumber was quickly exhausted and logging operations were complete in the area by 1905.

Fowler Hollow Run passes through the park and is a brown trout fishery.

Hunters, snowmobilers, and cross-country skiers also use the park to gain access to the surrounding state forest.
