Valley View Lakehouse
Sightseeing
Enjoy some of Western New York’s best fishing and try your hand at angling for walleye, muskellunge, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass and ice fishing in the winter. The lake, which is divided into two basins of about the same size, is where Chautauqua (“bag tied in the middle”) takes its name.

Chautauqua Lake
Enjoy some of Western New York’s best fishing and try your hand at angling for walleye, muskellunge, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass and ice fishing in the winter. The lake, which is divided into two basins of about the same size, is where Chautauqua (“bag tied in the middle”) takes its name.
What is Chautauqua known for? Its famous Chautauqua Institution which spawned the Chautauqua movement of the late 20th century. Across the U.S., especially in rural areas, Chautauqua assemblies offered culture and entertainment for the entire community. President Roosevelt even called Chautauqua “the most American thing in America.” While the movement died out, the original Chautauqua Institution remains a major part of living in Chautauqua with diverse cultural, musical, religious, and educational programs and concerns that draw in thousands. It also boasts a 4,500-seat Amphitheater for its symphony, theater, and other musical productions.
