Located on Chautauqua Lake - a 320 acre day-use park, (no camping) with hiking, biking, reserve-able picnic pavilions, public boat launch and marina with restaurant, marine supplies, gas docks. Winter time fun with cross-country skiing, snowmobiling & winter fishing.
Long Point, which juts peninsula-like into Lake Chautauqua, is one of the moraines left long ago by a retreating glacier. The park and marina comprise a day-use area with thickly-wooded areas of beech, maple, spruce, poplar and oak. The park's boat launch is the most modern on Lake Chautauqua, which, at 1,308 feet above sea level, is one of the highest navigable bodies of water in North America.
One hundred and twenty species of birds have been recorded here. Hike the roughly 1-mile loop trail to the Tip of Long Point for an incredible panoramic view of Chautauqua Lake at lake-level. Common species to look for year-round and as seasons change include the Bufflehead Duck, Tundra Swan, Purple Martin, sparrows, warblers, and more.
