The Bemus Point Methodist Church is a welcoming congregation rooted in the village community. The church’s mission centers on making disciples of Jesus Christ and engaging people in transforming the world around them.
Their vision is captured in the acronym S.A.I.L., which guides the life of the congregation: Seek Jesus, Activate Your Faith, Invest In God’s Mission, and Love Completely. It’s a framework that reflects both an inward commitment to faith and an outward focus on community and service.

The Bemus Point-Stow Ferry has been crossing Chautauqua Lake since 1811. And The Ferry is almost done for the season. ⛵
The Ferry is one of the last cable-guided ferries in the country. Seven minutes across the narrows of Chautauqua Lake connecting two shores that have depended on each other for over two centuries.
For some people a ride on The Ferry is a generational memory. Something their grandparents did and their parents did and now they do with their kids on a summer afternoon. For others it is the first time and the seven minutes feel like stepping into a different era entirely.
Either way The Ferry is FREE 🆓
Just bring a donation to support this piece of living history.
Dogs are welcome 🐾
Special events and midweek crossings can be booked by emailing info@thebemuspointstowferry.com
Running Friday through Sunday Noon to 8 PM through the end of the season. The Ferry closes after Fall Fest weekend in September.
If you have not ridden The Bemus Point-Stow Ferry this summer, Sunday, September 20th is your last chance. 📍

Bemus Point in the Fall. 🍂
There is nothing quite like it.
There is something about September on Chautauqua Lake that stops you in your tracks.
The foliage comes in and suddenly the hills around the lake are every shade of orange, gold, and red.
The sunsets stretch out even longer and they hit with the same colors as the trees.
Youth football on the field. Bills fans and Steelers fans somehow cheering side by side. 🏈
Crisp air. The kind of weekend that feels like a deep exhale.
🍂 And then there is Fall Fest.
September 18th through 20th.
The streets of Bemus Point line up with vendors near and far. The shops are open. The restaurants are rolling out fall specials.
The whole village gathers together for one final celebration before the season turns.
It is equal parts goodbye to summer and the warmest welcome to fall you have ever been part of.
This is the weekend you book the stay and come back to the place you never really wanted to leave.

A golf cart shuttle to get you everywhere you need to be. Ice cream because summer isn’t over yet. Local shops filled with things you didn’t know you needed. One last ferry crossing before she closes for the season.
