I have never reviewed a boat yard before and know some folks who would not give this score. Let me…read moresay that 2 years ago I brought my boat here, they buffed it out when that service was not requested. It needed the buff out badly so we came to an agreement that was amicable. Next year, something else not requested was done, this time it was just removed from the bill. That summer one of their subcontractors lost my anchor, they loaned me one while I got it replaced. Last fall, the boat was delivered to the storage area, but some of the things requested were not completed. Uncertain it was fully winterized and ready for a upstate NY deep freeze winter, they sent a tech to the storage site to verify and complete the work. So what can I say, well the work is sometimes not what was asked for but they always made it right. For that I give 4 stars in a market where folks that stand behind their work and strive to be fair is not always easy to find.

This is a very nice trail located in Amish Country which runs North and South of the small town of…read moreSpartansburg. It is named after the East Branch of Oil Creek, which it follows. The trail-head is located in town next to the Dutch Treat restaurant, and is also next to Clear Lake (There is a bridge so you can walk over and view the dam). The trail is not very long, but the natural scenery makes this a worthwhile visit. I have ridden this trail on numerous occasions, and have seen lots of wildlife, including one time, where I saw a bear cross the trail. Sometimes there are Amish horse and buggies using the trail also. P.S. I had no signal in the town of Spartansburg, so I was unable to check-in there, but near the end of the trail near Sportsmans Road I did have a signal, so I was able to check in there.

It's a trail. I don't know what attributes a trail needs to be well rated. It's 6 miles long and…read morecrosses a big road and a couple smaller roads (with no signals). There are snakes and mosquitoes because you're near a murky mud puddle they (ironically?) call Clear Lake and a swamp. The length of it is paved. Alongside the pavement there's grass on one half and gravel on the other half of the length. There are a couple of benches. There is aggressive signage that's all kinds of pissy with buggy drivers about how "we'll close this gate if you amish keep using this trail for driving..." or something similarly sh*tty that seemed uninviting, prejudiced and unnecessary. There are no trash receptacles except at the very beginning of the trail so if you walk your dog be ready to carry your poop bag the whole way. Also, bikes are allowed on the trail so keep an eye out.

Hey, someone help me, how do you say this: Chautauqua? I struggled all day with trying to figure…read morethat out and still do not know how to say this. I had one condition to go on this road trip, I wanted to stop and see the Scary Lucy Statue. After seeing it online a few years ago, I just wanted to see it in person. We mapped it out and found our way to this park. The park, overall, is beautiful and a complete asset. There are pavilions, a boat slip, a playground, restrooms, and plenty of seating. When you park at the park and start to walk towards the grounds you are greeted by Lucy. Not Scary Lucy, but the Nice Lucy. The Lucy that commanded your attention as she is about to make her skirt flow. Almost like she was there to welcome you into the park and tell you to enjoy yourself while here. Weirdly enough, this statue, the more welcoming statue, is the older of the two statues of the park. We then made our way over to the Scary Lucy statue. Oof, what a statue it is. Unveiled in 2009, I'm sure a lot of people had to do a double take. I know and understand that they were attempting to pay tribute to this legend, but they really missed the mark. Enjoy the picture as that was what I got to see up close. What made it a bit more scary was the amount of spiderwebs all over the statue. After we took in the statues we walked about the park and ended up by the boat slip and lighthouse. We walked out on the pier and I have to say that this is some of the clearest water I have seen in a while. While there, we assisted a couple in launching their boat, well, my brother did, I had my camera taking a tong of pictures. With the view taken in and statues seen, we decided to get on the road and keep on trucking down the road.

We visited this park on a particularly cloudy and overcast day which made it harder to view view…read morethe sculptures than I would have liked but the park sits on a lake and I personally enjoy the gloomy weather so I was excited to stop here. There is a big parking lot which makes it easy to stop and a large playground area right when you get out of your car. They also have benches and picnic areas and we spotted a small lighthouse near the water that we walked over to check out. It looked very cool. Our reason for stopping here however was obviously the statues of Lucille Ball. There are two of them. The newer prettier Lucy statue is charming and super well done. I loved seeing her in the classic polka dot dress! (My dog had on a cute little plaid dress that day so I had to get her in the photo as well) The older statue though that is referred to as the ugly one was honestly terrible. The nod to vitameatavegamin was awesome and honestly I think it probably wouldn't have seemed so bad had I not seen the pretty sculpture first, but honestly it's a little shocking. Unfortunately, it was overcast like I said so it was difficult to get good pictures of anything but if you're an Isle of Lucy fan or even just passing through the area, this park is definitely worth a visit. It only takes a few minutes to see the statues and you can enjoy some nice scenery by the water.

The Allegheny National Forest is beautiful and covers a lot of ground. There is so much to explore…read morehere, with so many amazing sights. There are two ranger sections here: Bradford and Marienville. We stopped by the Bradford office, where we were able to pick up maps and informational brochures and sheets that were helpful for our explorations. The Allegheny Reservoir, created by the Kinzua Dam, provides some great opportunities and views from the forest - Rimrock Overlook and picnic area looks out at this area, and a hike is available from Kinzua Beach to the overlook. Nearby Kinzua Point also looks out at the water, as well as an information center (limited hours). All of these areas were great for sunset viewing too. Another extraordinary area within the forest is the Hearts Content Scenic Area, which is absolutely stunning. Camping and cabins are also available in the forest.

You can explore to "your heart's content," which also happens to be the name of a road I found. There are streams and creeks and trees galore (as would be expected in a forest... lol). Fantastic adventures await ... Cheers!!!

The mini golf was cute and fun. We came a little late in the season so the fountains, waterfall,…read moreand stream weren't full or on. The plus side to that is we had the whole course to ourselves because the Chautauqua institution people were finally out of town. In summer this place is so jam packed with tourists that I never even bothered to try until now. It's $25 for 2 sodas and 2 people to play unlimited mini golf. It was a lot of fun. There are trash cans, benches, and Adirondack chairs throughout if you need a break. Staff were really nice and they still have the icecream shop open as well as the driving range which is fun!

Sadly, this used to be a very nice safe scenic walking spot. Due to the current refuge overflow…read morethis place can be terrifying after dark. During the day its safer unless you're near the viaduct area where homeless are camping and doing drugs 24/7. Don't walk there from dusk to after sun up unless you want to see iv drug use,see sex acts on benches, get asked for money, flashed genitals, get asked for cigarettes, or sexually harassed and/or followed like I was. I have my permit to carry and still don't feel safe there after dark anymore. It's pretty, so it's sad. We didn't have enough resources to take care of our own vets, low income, or homeless then they just dumped refugees onto our streets ontop of it. Very sad for everyone involved. They recently declared a state of emergency because we have nowhere to put them or any way to help them yet they are showing up in droves. They have no resources so theft has gone up all over the area.

We traveled from Maryland to attend a high school regatta hosted by CLYC. It was cold and rainy but…read morethat didn't matter because the club took us in like we were old friends. We were told to make ourselves at home in all areas of the club. They provided breakfast and coffee both days. They opened the bar at 11 am and gave us access to the snack menu all day. The food was delicious. The bar staff was warm and friendly. The regatta was run more professionally than any I have ever seen and the viewing was spectacular. Our whole group was extremely grateful for the hospitality. If I'm ever in this area again, I hope to sail out of this club. If I lived in this area, I'd definitely be a regular there.

My friends and family went to a wedding last week. Most of us traveled 500 miles and better. The…read morewedding was held outside in the heat. When we went into the restaurant to relax and cool off, we found out there was no conditioning. Half the people were 60 and older. The employees told the bride that the air-conditioner was broken... I was told there was no air-conditioner and never was. You would think with over 75 people in that small space they would have had at least fans!!!! When most of the traveling people went back to the hotel, they were all hungry. I asked them didn't they eat at the reception... their reply was " It was too hot to eat." I would not recommend this place to anyone unless it is in the dead of winter!!!

We have come up here to this Federal Campground with family and friends over the Fourth of July for…read moreabout 5 years and have loved it. There's river access to the Allegheny River so the kayaking is fantastic. There's not many amenities except electric at the large campsites but you can fill up your holding tank of your camper at the entrance to the park with non drinking water which is great. Each site has a picnic table and a large fire ring. There's a large bath house at the entrance and one deeper in the park that is just a restroom which is also great. Unfortunately the park is suffering from under or non functioning commodes, blow dryers showers and is generally in disrepair. The Camp host cleans and resupplies the bath/showers each morning which is not enough when there's a sell out weekend like the fourth. Previous years it was always acceptable so I'm not sure what makes this particular year so different but the restrooms are filthy by late afternoon and just gets worse. This year the stay has been very disappointing. Message is not to come here on a holiday weekend anymore if we ever come back at all!
