This is the snowmobile trail in Mayville near the historic train depot and where the Chautauqua Lake Pops is located in the summer months. Today was a beautiful blue sky day with not a cloud in the sky so I decided to visit the site of the Pops and could hear the sounds of music in my head as I stood on this snow packed trail looking towards where the Pops lawn chairs are placed for concert ticket holders.
This photo was taken in 2020 as a lone snowmobiler was approaching from the East. The Chautauqua Belle was nearby though this year it is spending its winter at the South end of the lake.
This view is near where the Chautauqua Lake Pops floating stage was anchored in 2019, the first Pops concert season since leaving Bemus Point NY in 2017. In the month of Feburary when the lake is frozen several inches deep one can see many ice fishing huts dotting the shoreline near Mayville, Chautauqua Institution, Dewittville Bay, Bemus Point and many other locations.
