Letchworth State Park, renowned as the 'Grand Canyon of the East,' is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern United States. This is a 90-minute drive from Niagara Falls, but worth it for the breathtaking views and exciting trails.

The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs as high as 600 feet in some places, surrounded by lush forests. Within the park there are three large waterfalls on the river and perhaps as many as fifty waterfalls found on tributaries that flow into it.

Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Letchworth State Park offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks, tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking, a pool for swimming and hot air ballooning.

Winter activities include snow tubing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. The historic, completely restored Glen Iris Inn offers overnight accommodations and is open to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Banquet and catering services are available for your special events.
