Letchworth State Park is often referred to as “the Grand Canyon of the East,” and is thought to be one of the eastern United States region’s most scenically magnificent areas. The Genesee River can be heard roaring in the park over three waterfalls found between cliffs and through the gorge, surrounded by the area’s lush forests. The state park is also made up of sixty-six trails for hiking, with trails also open to cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, biking, and horseback riding. Letchworth State Park also provides a swimming pool, kayaking, whitewater rafting, guided walks, and even hot air ballooning.
