Fowler Mountain, est. 750 feet , is a traprock mountain located 7 miles southeast of the center of Meriden, Connecticut. It is part of the narrow, linear Metacomet Ridge that extends from Long Island Sound near New Haven, Connecticut, north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to the Vermont border. Fowler Mountain is known for its rugged topography, unique microclimate ecosystems, and rare plant communities. It rises steeply 300 feet above the Ulbrich Reservoir and the Quinnipiac River valley to the west. The mountain is traversed by the 50-mile Mattabesett Trail.
Located within the towns of Durham and Wallingford, Connecticut, Fowler Mountain is 1.2 miles long by 0.5 miles wide, although rugged topography makes the actual square mileage much larger. Fowler Mountain is an important aquifer; two reservoirs lie at the base of it: Ulbrich Reservoir to the west, in the town of Wallingford and Pistapaug Pond to the south, between Fowler Mountain and Pistapaug Mountain. The mountain is largely wooded with a few lookouts from rugged ledges over the reservoirs below.
