3. Kayaking
The lakes in Chautauqua County were made for cruising! If you’re looking for an active way to take in the colors of the changing leaves and breathtaking sunsets, try kayaking! You can bring your own kayaks or rent them for the day and explore any and all five lakes in this region.
4. Lighthouses
There are several lighthouses located around both Chautauqua Lake and Lake Erie, including the first natural gas lighthouse in the country, Barcelona Lighthouse and the historically significant Dunkirk Lighthouse. This lighthouse still has its original third-order Fresnel lens and you can climb to the top for a better view of vibrant fall foliage that beautifully contrasts the water.
5. Lakefront Strolls
The lakefront is a beautiful place for a stroll on a crisp fall day. From the beaches to the Dunkirk boardwalk and pier, there’s a lot to see. When you visit the lakeside grounds of Chautauqua Institution, experience American architecture of every era dating back to the 1800s.
