The largest of these is Chautauqua Lake, from which the County and Chautauqua Institution derive the ir names. Our ChautauquaCHAUTAUQUALake muskallunge are called ''Muskallunge Ohiens is". Cassadaga and Bear Lake, in the Town of Stockton, are relatively smaller. Mud Lake and East Mud Lake in the Town of Villenova are the sources of the Conewango River, and COUNTY Findley Lake in the western edge of the County flows into the west branch of French Creek and finally into the Allegheny at Franklin,HISTORICALbelow Oil City. The highest of these lakes is Findley Lake on our western border with a Sea Level Elevation of 1420; West Mud Lake and East Mud Lake are 1369' and 1342' respectively; Chautauqua 1308; SOCIETY and Cassadaga and Bear Lake about 1303'. At least four plans have been proposed over the WESTFIELD,years to reverse the flow of various of these Aakes and empty them into Lake Erie. In 18 a few individuals dug a ditch almost overnight which would have emptied Cassadaga Lake intoNY the canadaway I 2012 Creek if they had not been stopped by irate citizens affected and by injunction. (see , History of Chautauqua County & Its People 1921 Vol. 1, page 2.) In 1934 an Army Engineer'~ plan proposed the draining of Findley Lake, the French Creek and the Big Brokenstraw into Lake Erie, as a part of the French Creek Diversion Plan, w~th a possible power development at Freeport.

Listen to moving music in Mayville, fill your belly in Bemus Point, laugh in Jamestown or head south to Celoron, where a new destination hotel is making waves. At first light, strands of sunshine mingle with swirling mist hovering just above Chautauqua Lake on a crisp morning. The water is calm until a skein of honking geese come in for a landing, skidding across the surface and sending a wave of ripples in front of the resort-like Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celoron, New York. The 135-room hotel opened last year on the grounds of the famed Celoron Park, a popular theme park that opened in 1894 and shuttered in 1962. It’s a great spot for a getaway — anytime of the year — and makes an ideal launching spot for exploring the rest of the lake. But before you head out, make sure to enjoy what the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel has to offer.

  • The Chautauqua Lake Fizzle by Margaret K
    The Chautauqua Lake Fizzle By Margaret K. Look Copyright 2006 Chautauqua Lake was the site of the most bizarre sporting event of the late 19th century. It was the sculling race between Charles Courtney, the leading professional single sculler in the United States, and Edward Hanlan, his Canadian counterpart. It was scheduled for October 16, 1879, but never took place, because Courtney’s boat was sawed in two the night before the contest. The culprit was never found, and the aborted race remains a highlight in rowing history. In the late 1870s, rowing was rapidly becoming the national sport in America. The prizes for professionals were often large, and the races attracted many gamblers. The promoters were businesses, wealthy individuals, railroads and steamship companies which transported people to the race sites. Courtney had learned to row on Cayuga Lake, New York near his hometown of Union Springs where he and a brother had a carpentry business. Hanlan, a native of Toronto, had learned to row while living on an island in Toronto Bay where his father had a saloon. By the summer of 1876 Courtney, who had rowed 88 races as an amateur single sculler and never lost one, also won the international amateur championship at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.
