  • Featuring Chautauqua Lake, Lake Erie Living Magazine
    Best of Lake Erie — featuring Chautauqua Lake Relax with lake breezes and a cocktail or strike a yoga pose as the mighty Niagara Falls rushes before you. Enjoy dinner in an old grain silo in Buffalo or world-class cheesecake on the streets of Detroit. Zipline in Geneva-on-the-Lake or stop by a speakeasy in Erie. Whatever your idea of a good time, you’ll find it around Lake Erie. Best Chautauqua Lake Getaway Chautauqua Lake offers year-round nourishment for the mind, body and soul, even beyond the gates of the Chautauqua Institution. Along its 41 miles of shoreline, you’ll find small villages, each with its own distinctive charm. 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.

Waletzky, M.D. State Council Chair November 2007 1 Dear Governor Spitzer: Greetings from the State Council of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The Council comprises the Chairs of the eleven Regional Park Commissions, the Chair of the State Board for Historic Preservation, and the Commissioners of State Parks and Environmental Conservation. We are very happy to submit to you the State Council of Parks’ 2007 Annual Report. The report describes the State Council’s priorities for 2008, highlights the Office of Parks, Recre- ation and Historic Preservation’s achievements over the past year, and sets forth recommenda- tions for improving the stewardship of New York’s 213 State Parks and Historic Sites which have nearly 60 million yearly visitors. While New York’s State parks face many challenges and opportunities, one issue is paramount: the state park system has suffered from decades of underinvestment, with the result that the parks have developed a $650 million backlog of urgent capital projects. These include health and safety concerns (outdated sewage treatment, water supply, and electrical systems; improperly closed landfills; underground tanks; and aging dams); pressing rehabilitation needs (deteriorated campgrounds, bathhouses, swimming pools, recreation facilities, historic structures, nature centers, roads, bridges, and boat launches); provision of public access to newly acquired parks; and natural resource stewardship projects.
