Letchworth State Park
In 2015, Letchworth won the USA TODAY Readers’ Choice Award for Best State Park in the United States. Letchworth came out on top of the 19 other state parks nominated for the contest, chosen from more than 6,000 parks across the nation.
Letchworth State Park is 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, some as high as 600 feet in some places, and is 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, tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting , kayaking, a pool for swimming, and hot air ballooning. – New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation
