The Foggy Bottom Lodge is located on 200 acres of private land nestled in thousands of acreage of undeveloped river bottom in Chautauqua County, New York. The Lodge provides uncommon accommodations for bow hunters looking for an exceptional experience and impressive game.

You will not find this experience elsewhere in Western New York. This virtually untouched piece of land is hidden from normal traffic to keep the game and land pristine, and we intend to keep it that way. The proprieter of the land will reveal the location of the land on the first day of your trip.

Our rustic lodge sleeps 4 and has a fully equipped kitchen, indoor bath with hot water, and a comfortable sleeping area where you can relax and discuss your hunting adventures.

Read what our past hunters have to say…….

I would recommend a trip to Foggy Bottom Lodge in Chautauqua County, Western New York to any bow hunter interested in a REAL hunting experience. I will definitely be back to hunt this fall.

Sam, New York

We had the best time hunting at Foggy Bottom Lodge last year. I can’t wait to go back this fall. The land is pristine and the hunt was superior to anything I’ve done in the past. Thanks again.

Robert, New York

Foggy Bottom is 100 percent fair chase. Each time I go, I encounter something different. The remoteness of the location and the beauty of the land is inspiring and the hunting is great too!
