Great beach, lots of places to have a picnic, tons of tables, and not crowded at all. Has a very nice playground, plus a smaller playground for toddlers.

Nice park for nature and taking in the sights of the lake. Walking the actual “long point” peninsula offers some unique vantage points of Lake Chautauqua. There are many marked nature trails to check out as well. The park has many amenities …Thank you for the great rating & review! Hope you visit again soon!

Nice park for nature and taking in the sights of the lake. Walking the actual “long point” peninsula offers some unique vantage points of Lake Chautauqua. There are many marked nature trails to check out as well. The park has many amenities including restrooms, picnic areas, and a beach, although the beach can be closed from time to time due to water quality issues.

$7 for the park. Nice park to launch the kayaks. Enjoyed the lake. Sad that boats still speed near shore, thank goodness ness we were not in the water with kayaks at the time but others were. Very busy on this Saturday sunny day.Thank you for the great rating & review! Yes, the lake is very busy on nice weekends in particular. Stay safe on your paddle excursions and always reach out to the Sheriff Dept to report dangerous boaters - they do maintain a presence on the lake and will ticket. Hope you visit again soon!
