Visited here for several hours in October 2009. Absolutely loved this place. The scenery was beautiful at every overlook and viewpoint. I am a waterfall lover and I loved the falls, especially the Middle Falls. You could get close to the falls and they are spectacular. The falls colors were very pretty. This is definitely a place not to be... more

The entire park is beautifully kept, there was no garbage & all the grass was neatly cut. The falls were gorgeous, & it was neat to see Middle Falls lit at night. A place you will definitely want to take your camera with plenty of memory cards! We stayed in one of the cabins & it was quite cozy, again... more

My 26 year old daughter and I, took out several hours to visit this State Park. in September 2009 We traveled from Seattle and flew into Buffalo to start our trip. After doing a bit of research we ended up here on day 3 of our trip. This park is a amazing old park with stone walls and stairs along... more

We were lucky to go in the Fall, and see the leaves changing! The early morning and evening are best for photos, but anytime is a good time to go to this park. They have cabins, camping, a beautiful Inn to stay at. There are lots of trails to walk, and or hike. They are mostly rated easy to moderate.... more

We drove almost two hours out of our way to visit Letchworth and it was worth it! We didn't have a lot of time to walk all of the trails, but the views were spectacular. If you are in the area, take the time to visit Letchworth. more

Called the Grand Canyon of the East, the Letchworth State Park, south of Rochester, NY, is truly a gem and worth a detour. With three spectacular waterfalls with easy access, it is an amazing park. more

I live close enough to the park (~45min) to have gone there on many trips and while I don't feel the "Grand Canyon of the East" title is deserved, it's still awesome and beautiful in its own right. As it was listed in a book I have as also having one of the best tent campgrounds in New York State,... more

After driving past Letchworth for years, I finally made it there for a quick 24-hour getaway. We went mountain-biking upon arrival along the Finger Lakes Trail, which is on the opposite side of the gorge from the camp grounds and from the in-park gorge-view roadway. The trail was well-marked and very scenic. That night, we camped in the 800-loop of... more

I grew up 3 miles from the Mt.Morris enterance so I know the park very well. I enjoy it in every season but the colors in the Fall are the BEST. I now live in Rochester,NY and don't get there as offen as I would like. Each time I go I discover something new or learn more about Mr.. Letchworth... more
