Review:

Letchworth State Park is a gorgeous 14,000-acre state park spanning areas throughout Wyoming and Livingston Counties, located approximately half an hour southwest of the city of Rochester.

The park follows the course of the majestic Genesee River, flowing northward over beautiful waterfalls and gorge stretches.

It has been voted as America's favorite state park by the readers of USA Today, noted for its excellent outdoor recreational opportunities year-round.

Visitors can explore the park's Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls sites and view its spectacular 550-foot gorge walls, which earned the site a reputation as the "Grand Canyon of the East."

Day-use picnic sites are offered at the park, along with 66 miles of hiking trails, swimming pools, and opportunities for hiking, biking, kayaking, hunting, fishing, and whitewater rafting. During the winter months, visitors can snow tube, cross-country ski, snowmobile, or enjoy scenic horse-drawn carriage rides through the snowy landscape.
