The porch is expansive and you can watch all the sunsets from the covered porch or dock. Relaxing gettaway for singles, couples or families.There's truly no better destination for your next lakefront retreat - Rushford Lake is fed by local mountain streams after the dam is closed in April, allowing it to warm up much earlier in the year than other lakes. The lake is let out in Mid October. Boating, fishing, waterskiing, and jetskiing are all extremely popular activities in the area. We have a small sandy area for kids to build sandcastles or lounge on the sand as you watch from the hanging swing chairs. For more beach adventures, drive 5 minutes to reach a lifeguarded public beach, which features several swim platforms and calm, shallow and sandy waters. In the evenings you can sit around the firepit and reminisce about the fun you had during the day.

Rushford Lake is one of the cleanest lakes in New York State which makes for great swimming, warms early in the season and stays warm thru early fall. There is a public sandy beach at one end of lake with Lifeguards seasonally if you choose, along with a boat launch at the other if you have your own boat.
Rushford lake is also stocked annually with brown and rainbow trout in the spring by the New York State DEC, Bass, crappie, carp, perch, suckers, bullhead and sunfish are also part of this fishery. The surrounding parks hold great hiking trails and hunting & snowmobiling in the winter.
Close to Letchworth, Allegany and Stoney Brook State parks, to name a few, the Mt Morris Dam, Swain and Holiday Valley Ski resort. Short scenic trip Ellicottville or Wellsville.
