Chaumont-Three Mile Bay, the "Golden Crescent"
Welcome to
Chaumont-Three Mile Bay area located on the eastern end
of Lake Ontario known as the "Golden Crescent."
Chaumont Bay harbors some of the best family fishing on
the continent! It is the largest fresh water bay in the
world!
A unique bay with Point Peninsula and Pillar Point
providing the entrance, it has rocky shores, varying
water depths, weed and rocky covered bottoms, and good
shoals for spawning. Its murky depths provide some of the
liveliest, mouthwatering pan frying bass, pickeral,
perch, pike, bullhead, lake trout and salmon.
Sailing in the Golden Crescent is second to none,
featuring two of the finest yacht clubs in the country.
Local marinas provide the boat owner with sales and
service for all of their needs.
Devoid of heavy commercialism, areas of Chaumont Bay
offer relaxation, swimming, fishing, biking, walking
trails, boating and camping. Winter sports include ice
fishing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. A two
mile nature trail at the Chaumont Barrens takes the hiker
through a mosaic of rare habitats and a unique alvar
landscape unlike any other natural area in the
Northeastern United States.
Many events are held each year including the Lyme
Community Field days, bass and ice fishing derbies,
church bazaars and craft fairs, an annual little league
tournament, the Tour de Chaumont Bay bike ride and the
Lyme Triathalon.
Area restaurants provide excellent meals with
various menus for your dining pleasure. Motels are
located nearby, both on the water and near the village.
Camping is available at Long Point State Park as well as
Shangrila and Hidden Harbor on Point Peninsula. The Lyme
Free Library is open to the public.
Come to the Chaumont-Three Mile Bay area for a vacation
of fishing, boating and relaxation!
