Chautauqua Lake - So Much to Do & See

Sightseeing

This is a MUST DO! Probably not for thrill junkies, but for the rest of us, it's spot on for this Lake. Just a short walk down our street you can ride the Historic B.P-Stow Ferry. This cable Ferry has been crossing the Lake at the narrows since 1811. It can take cars and pedestrians. IT'S FREE! Only in summer on weekends,

This one is one of our favorites if you're in the mood for Great Italian food & Pizza. Great for families and couples. They deliver to our house! Hand-tossed dough for the calazones --- yum. I go with the spinach & cheese(don't judge) or try the Buffalo style.

Okay, this is NOT a gambling joint. It is a restaurant & bar. Great wings. In summer you can dock your boat at their docks & the server will come to you! Also a great place to take the kids for a hand-dipped ice cream cone. Place to watch the football game.
