Itâ will be exciting to see the Bemus Point Ferry running again after years of repair! Every year on Memorial Day Weekend, the Bemus Point-Stow Ferry resumes service for the summer, carrying cars and passengers across the narrowest point of Chautauqua Lake. The ferry has operated annually since 1811, except for a break from 2018 to 2021 for repairs. Itâs a well-recognized sight on the lake, with four pilot towers and two US flags â the current one with 50 stars, and the version from 1811. Multiple generations of families have enjoyed traveling on the ferry over the years, making this iconic boat a historic treasure for both residents of and visitors to Chautauqua County.
The ferry was the only shortcut for traffic across the lake until the I-86 bridge was completed in 1982.

The new bar, called 14 Main, is on the second floor, and above the See-Zuhr Houseâthe same restaurant we all know and love! Looking forward to spending time here this summer! Hoping the wings are still the best in townâŚ.
