Village Zoning Code Update
08/20/2026
This is intended to be a preliminary draft for public review and comment on the core zoning law elements: districts, uses, and design standards. All feedback will be reviewed and considered by the ZAC prior to referral of the complete updated zoning law to the Village Board for public hearing and adoption.
Lake Treatment
06/16/2026
Attached is a map of the planned milfoil treatment this week, starting on Wednesday, and continuing for two days, weather permitting.
The herbicide being applied to milfoil is ProcellaCOR EC, a low dose, systemic herbicide that controls milfoil but not most other plants. ProcellaCOR does not restrict swimming, fishing or potable water use. Use of lake water for broadleaf plants (not grasses) will be restricted for a week or more water samples can be collected and analyzed.
In addition to milfoil treatment, the area in Celoron along the marinas will also be treated for nuisance weeds using a broad-spectrum herbicide, Komeen Descend. Per NYS regulations, potable use of lake water will be restricted by the treatment for a week or more.
Other Commercial/Navigation zones that have been approved by NYSDEC permit are not sufficiently "weedy" to justify treatment at this time but may be treated later in the summer.

We are happy to see that the snowmobile trails are open again. Just a reminder that the only allowable snowmobile access in the Village of Bemus Point is the trail extension adjacent to the Rt. 430 onramp, leading into the back of the Bemus Point Golf Course & Tap House property. There is no access from the Lake. Please enjoy winter safely and thank-you for visiting our Village!
Passing of former Mayor
12/29/2025
The Village of Bemus Point sadly notes the passing of former Mayor and Past Fire Chief Bryan P. Dahlberg. He was first appointed in 1989 by then-Mayor Richard Babbage to fill a trustee vacancy on the board. Nine years later he became mayor, a position he would go on to hold for the next 24 years until he announced his retirement in 2022. Bryan was a lifetime member of the Bemus Point Volunteer Fire Department, serving for three years as Chief. Mayor Jeffrey Molnar, along with the Board of Trustees, the Village employees & committees, and the members of the Fire Department all join with the Dahlberg family in mourning the loss of Bryan.
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.
