About

Long Point State Park sits on a glacial moraine peninsula extending into Lake Chautauqua, one of the highest navigable bodies of water in North America at 1,308 feet above sea level. This 320-acre day-use park and marina features thickly-wooded areas of beech, maple, spruce, poplar, and oak. The park offers the most modern boat launch on Lake Chautauqua, with marina facilities including seasonal and transient slip rentals, fuel, and boat rentals. The lake provides excellent fishing opportunities for muskellunge (muskie), bass, perch, and pike. A swimming beach operates seasonally from mid-May through Labor Day, though the bathhouse is closed for construction through 2025. Recreational opportunities include biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing in warmer months, with cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing available in winter. Three picnic pavilions are available for reservation, accommodating groups from 20 to 144 people. The park is open year-round, weather permitting, with seasonal hours for specific facilities. Note that overnight camping is not permitted at this location.
