Stow

Stow is a small place that rests on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, which isn’t far from the sprawling lakeside of Lake Erie. It is a place that many people come to enjoy a calm camping trip away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and the nearby state parks are all part of what makes it the perfect place to come and relax in nature. North Harmony State Forest has light hiking trails woven between the lush, green trees, and the nearby Allegany State Forest has even more challenging trails to be explored. Not only this, but the range of outdoor activities here is endless, with kayaking and swimming being enjoyed in the summer months. For the best views, hike along the water’s edge of Lake Erie.
