    Rest area off the 86 in Chautauqua
    Susan S.

    I know it's just a rest stop but it's the prettiest stop I ever saw. It's right on lake Chautauqua and the view is incredible. There are also tables so you can bring a picnic which I plan on doing. The building is really nice and very clean. The only food and drink is from vending machines. It's worth a stop even if not needed!

    Awesome picnic stations all over grass and bags for dogs

    This rest area is amazing. Super clean and the views are incredible. Can learn a decent amount of local history here as well.

    This very large dog park in Ellicottville NY is near the Nannen Arboretum, it's very clean, and…read morefully fenced. Dog watering stations are available; so are green bags.

    So, I live about an hour away (up in Buffalo). But I live alone, and only have the 2 Dogs. We have…read moreparks here, but about once a week, I like to get them out of the house for an extended period of time. So we take the very relaxing hour drive south to Ellicottville, and I bring them to this decently sized dog park. It's located right off the main road into EVL, and shares a parking lot with a fire station. It also shares property with like a soccer field, playground, and maybe a picnic table or two. Pretty area, and plenty to do in EVL. The only reason I give this 3 stars, is because the dog bags (for their poop), are located OUTSIDE the dog park. Maybe this ain't a big deal for some, but for me I have three issues, which might seem silly, but I'll explain either way. 1. I cannot leave my dogs unattended. This may sound graphic, but they will legitimately kill other dogs/animals. They aren't friendly, and they often work as a team. And with both at 80lbs., even "big" dogs, aren't that big when two 80lb-ers team up. I wish they were nice and social. But they aren't. Period. So leaving the park to go get bags, isn't an option for me. 2. (Silly to some) I personally don't want to "pre-game" the bags, and grab some before I enter. I always feel weird, especially if I'm seen doing it. Like I feel like I look like the dude that steals bags from the park because I'm too cheap to buy my own. I know, dumb, but it's just how I feel. 3. (Pet Peeve) I cannot stand the kind of person that uses a public space and their dog poops there, and they don't pick it up. I feel like the bags being outside, especially if the person doesn't realize it or forgets to grab some, is just inviting owners NOT to pick up after their pets. Otherwise, it's a large area with grass and trees surrounded by a fence. It's a dog park.
