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,
