Letchworth State Park

Talk about a great vacation; regardless of how long you want to stay, a visit to Letchworth State Park will boost your mood. This magnificent wonderland, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East, is one of the best locations in New York for photography.

It is full of natural beauty. It will be hard to tear your eyes away from this captivating location, which is home to some of New York's best waterfalls and impressive cliffs (some of which reach over 600 feet in height). The Genesee River cascades through a sizable gorge bordered by cliffs and woods to form the Genesee River's three main falls, known as the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls. These falls, especially the most impressive, larger Middle Falls, are likely to be heard before being seen. There are many locations to enjoy a close-up view, but Inspiration Point offers the best overall falls vista. Explore some of the 66 miles of trails on foot, cool off in the pool, go white-water rafting or kayaking, or hop in a hot air balloon.
