Boat Launch Closure
08/29/2025
Bemus Point NYS DEC Boat Launch
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced the temporary closure of the Bemus Point State Boat Launch and Fishing Access Site located on Chautauqua Lake, Chautauqua County, for major site improvements and launch ramp replacement. The project is scheduled to start on Sept. 2, and is anticipated to continue through the end of November.
The entire site will be closed to public access for the duration of the project including the launch ramp and parking area.
Improvements to the site include the replacement of the concrete boat launch, new boat docks, and an anchored, floating kayak launch. Additional Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant features will be added to the site including accessible parking spaces near the boat launch, improved sidewalks, and motion-sensor, solar-powered lights to the launch area and sidewalks. The concrete seawall will also be removed and replaced with stone rip rap and a vegetated shoreline.
DEC encourages boaters to seek alternative launch sites, including:
• DEC Prendergast Point Boat Launch off Route 394 to Prendergast Blvd.; and
• Long Point State Park off Route 430.
More information about alternative options for boating and fishing access sites are also available on DEC's website.
For questions about the closures please contact Region 9 Fisheries at 716-372-0645.

Casella Updates
08/14/2024
- Casella will remove your old cans at no additional cost as long as you put a note on them saying "please throw away" and set them out with your trash for your scheduled service day.
- Glass is acceptable as recycling for the Village residents only. Outside the village they do not accept glass as recycling due to potential volume as they hand sort the recycling at their facility in Jamestown.
- Casella prefers to have as much of the trash bagged and tied inside the totes as possible. This makes collection easier for their workers and helps ensure nothing is left behind in the tote which could attract critters/odors.
