Chautauqua Lake is located in Western New York in Chautauqua County. It’s roughly 17 miles in length and at its widest it is 2 miles wide. At its deepest point, it measures approximately 78 feet deep. There is about 38.5 miles of privately-owned lake frontage and has a total of about 41 miles of lake frontage.
The lake is known around the world for its fishing and offers fishing tournaments every summer and was featured on The Outdoor Channel’s Major League Fishing. Some of the more notable fish include walleyes, muskellunge, paddlefish, crappies and several varieties of bass. The musky has made a resurgence since the 1990s and there is nothing more exciting than bringing in a fighting musky that can measure over 50 inches in length!
