| Letchworth State Park, renowned as the "Grand Canyon of the
East," is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern
U.S. 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. The historic, completely restored Glen Iris Inn offers overnight
accommodations and is open to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Campers can take advantage of tent and trailer campsites or winterized
cabins. For professional and organizational retreats, educational and
training needs can be met at the Conference Center, where overnight Full
Service Accommodations are possible. |
|
| The accommodations include bedrooms,
showers and a kitchen. Group camping facilities are available as well.
Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also
available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country
skiing. Two pools are open for swimming. Letchworth offers nature, history
and performing arts programs, guided walks and tours, a summer lecture
series, whitewater rafting, kayaking and hot air ballooning.
Winter activities include ice skating, snow tubing, cross-country
skiing, snowmobiling and horse-drawn sleigh rides.
