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,

Tours and things to do

This is a MUST VISIT. You can take a tour of the brewery. Empty Pint restaurant on site has a unique atmosphere, live music, food and beer. Bring the kids & dog. What more do you want.... BUT WAIT -- they are also a distillery & offer various flavors of Bourbon, Whiskey and canned spirits. Try the Candy Apple whiskey and/or the Pumpking beer.

"I Love Lucy"! Jamestown is Lucille Ball's hometown and was a big factor in bringing the National Comedy Center here. If you like this icon or Love Lucy, you will appreciate the memorabilia and get some laughs.

This scenic park has about a 1 mile walking trail. You can explore this ancient forest with all it's rock formations, crevices & caves. Something different if you want a moment away from the lake.

Open year round. Nicer inside and has several outside dining options including a floating bar. In the summer they offer live music on weekends which you may hear from our dock. They also have their own docks for you to pull your boat right up.

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.
