Long Point State Park (on Chautauqua Lake) is located in the Town of Ellery, near the hamlet of Maple Springs in Chautauqua County, New York. The park is located on a short peninsula on the east side of the lake and can be reached on Route 430.
The park offers a beach, a playground, picnic tables and pavilions, a nature trail, showers, fishing, a boat launch with marine pump-out station, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
In February 2010, the Governor of New York State, David Paterson, announced a proposal to close Long Point State Park in an effort to save $43,000 toward the state's budget deficit. A group of local community supporters formed a group called "Friends of Long Point on Lake Chautauqua State Park" in an effort to pursuade legislators to preserve the park's access to the public.
