  • 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.
