Attractions In and Around The Chautauqua Area

Attractions Bring Many Visitors

Several attractions bring visitors to Chautauqua County New York over and over again. The biggest by far is Chautauqua Institution but after visiting the area, tourists find so much more than they bargained for. Chautauqua is one of the nicest places when looking for New York State tourism attractions.

I have hiked through the Chautauqua County Gorge several times since I was young and each time I still find a new waterfall, bridge, fishing area or swimming hole that I didn't see before. It is a most beautiful place in the summer but the winter scenery is also spectacular. There are several fishing holes and some places in the gorge that are annually stocked with fish.
