Fishers Landing is in the northern part of the town of Orleans, on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River where it enters the American Narrows, a channel separating the mainland from Wellesley Island (also part of the town of Orleans). There is a local marina where island owners and visitors park their car/boat while traveling to and from the mainland. The Rock Island Light, a New York state park, is one-half mile (0.80 km) out in the channel from Fishers Landing, and the community of Thousand Island Park is directly across the channel on Wellesley Island.
New York State Route 12 passes along the southeast edge of the Fishers Landing CDP, leading northeast (downstream along the St. Lawrence) 2 miles (3 km) to Interstate 81 and 6 miles (10 km) to Alexandria Bay, and southwest (upriver) 5 miles (8 km) to Clayton. New York State Route 180 intersects Route 12 at Fishers Landing, leading south 6 miles (10 km) to La Fargeville. Watertown, the Jefferson county seat, is 25 miles (40 km) to the south.
