Letchworth State Park

Letchworth State Park, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern United States. The park is 17 miles long and encompasses over 14, 350 acres and contains over 20 waterfalls. The Genesee River runs through the middle of the park and over three magnificent waterfalls… Upper Falls (70ft), Middle Falls ( 107 ft )or Lower Falls ( 70ft ). The Upper Falls is straddled by a 235 foot railroad trestle. The cliffs, created by the river are 600 feet high.

Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. There are numerous walking trails along the gorge which are well maintained and accessible. Trails are also available for horseback riding and biking. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking and white water rafting are a few of the popular park activities. Outdoor swimming pools are located in the North and South picnic areas. In the Autumn, the fall foliage is spectacular.
