Letchworth State Park is a charming 14,000-acre state park located approximately half an hour outside of the city of Rochester, stretching throughout New York's Livingston and Wyoming Counties. The park, which has been voted as the United States' top state park by USA Today's readers, offers delightful outdoor recreational experiences throughout the year, including chances for hiking, biking, fishing, and boating. Lovely Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls are accessible via picturesque hiking trails, showcasing a spectacular 550-foot gorge that has earned the falls system the title of the "Grand Canyon of the East." Throughout the summer months, public swimming pools offer chances to cool off, while whitewater rafting excursions provide thrills for adventurous couples. In the winter, couples can enjoy scenic horse-drawn carriage rides through the park's picturesque landscape or take to the trails for cross-country skiing experiences.
