Long Point State Park on Lake Chautauqua

Long Point State Park extends across 360 acres of land on a peninsula, featuring wooded areas with beech, maple, spruce, poplar, and oak trees.

The park formed in 1956 through donations from two estates, including one from the granddaughter of New York Governor Reuben E. Fenton and another from Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.

The waters of Chautauqua Lake attract numerous anglers seeking muskellunge, a fish species that requires specific conservation measures and size regulations for catches.

The park maintains three rental pavilions that accommodate groups from 20 to 144 people, with daily rates between 50 and 100 dollars through the ReserveAmerica system.

Located at 1,308 feet above sea level, Chautauqua Lake ranks among North America's highest navigable waters and contains moraines formed by ancient glacial movements.
