Chautauqua Lake
Chautauqua Lake ( aka: Lake Chautauqua )is situated in Chautauqua County in Western New York. It is just approximately 17 miles from end-to-end and 2 miles across at its widest point. It is roughly 78 feet deep at its deepest point. There is roughly 38.5 miles of privately held lake waterfront, equaling approximately 41 miles of lake front.
The lake is notable for its fishing and holding fishing competitions each summer. It has often been featured on The Outdoor Channel’s Major League Fishing. Walleyes, Muskellunge, Paddlefish, Crappies, and several types of Bass are just some of the more noteworthy fish. Since the 1990s, the musky has experienced a comeback, and there is nothing more exhilarating than reeling in a huge musky that can be over 5 inches long!
The Paddlefish is a primitive fish that are related to Sturgeon, and was eradicated from Chautauqua Lake by 1900 but, a population of the rare fish has recently started repopulating itself. There are only a few sitings supporting its presence in the lake. The largest Paddlefish in Chautauqua Lake measured 78 inches long and weighed in at a whopping 125 pounds!
The communities around Chautauqua lake include Bemus Point, Maple Springs, Mayville, Chautauqua (Chautauqua Institution), Stow, Ashville, Lakewood, Greenhurst, Fluvanna, Celeron (Lucille Ball Birthplace), and Jamestown.
