Letchworth
State Park is one of our region's crown jewels.
The park span 14 thousand acres along the majestic
Genesee River. Its stunning scenery, gorges, miles
of trails, swimming pools and facilities make it
a perfect destination. Photographers, families and
outdoor enthusiasts enjoy this year-round vacation
spot.
|
| The
park is rich with history. Within its borders stand
a restored Seneca Indian Council House, the grave
of Mary Jemison, "The White Woman of the Genesee,"
and a Native American history museum. The museum displays
exhibits on the evolution of the park, the lift of
William Pryor Letchworth, and sits adjacent to his
home, now the Glen Iris Inn. |

Another
marvel of the park is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Dam at Mount Morris. Built in the late 1940's, the
Mount Morris Dam is the largest of its type east
of the Mississippi River.
Letchworth
State Park can be seen while driving through its
scenic roads, on horseback, rafting down the mighty
Genesee of floating in a hot air balloon high above
the gorge.
