| State Park Overview: |
 | Letchworth State Park, renowned as the "Grand Canyon of the East," is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs--as high as 600 feet in some places--surrounded by lush forests. Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Letchworth offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks and tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking, hot air ballooning and two pools for swimming. Winter activities include ice skating, snow tubing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and horse-drawn sleigh rides. |

Scenic splendor !
We spent a leisurely eight hours walking and driving through the park. Every path or stairway led to a breath-taking sight. The tree and plant diversity was grand and the wildflowers beautiful. Letchworth is a must see natural treasure.

One of our farorite parks
My grandparents took me there for family reunions every year near the big swimming pool. Now I take my two grandsons there, to continue the tradition. It is one of the most beautiful sites in all of America, and of course New York.
