Fowler Hollow Run facts for kids
Fowler Hollow Run is a small stream located in Perry County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It's a part of a much larger water system that eventually leads to the Susquehanna River. Think of it like a small branch on a big tree!
Fowler Hollow Run flows into Shultz Creek, which then flows into Sherman Creek. Finally, Sherman Creek empties into the mighty Susquehanna River. This whole network of streams and rivers is called a drainage basin or watershed. It means all the rain and snow that falls in a certain area around Fowler Hollow Run will eventually flow into this stream and then continue its journey to the Susquehanna River. The area that collects water for Fowler Hollow Run is about 5.59 square miles (14.48 square kilometers).
Exploring Fowler Hollow Run
This stream is about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) long. As it flows, it carves out a beautiful, narrow valley. A special part of this valley is known as Fowlers Hollow State Park. This park is a great place for people to visit and enjoy nature.
Fishing Fun
Fowler Hollow Run is a very popular spot for fishing, especially for trout! You can find two main types of trout here:
- Brown trout: These fish were brought to the area from other places.
- Brook trout: These are native fish, meaning they have always lived in these waters.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission helps make sure there are plenty of fish for everyone. They often add (or "stock") brown trout to the stream before the fishing season begins. This helps keep the fish population healthy and makes sure anglers have a good chance to catch something. Even with the stocked fish, the stream still has a strong population of its own native brook trout, which is a sign of a healthy environment.
