Letchworth Waterfalls


Letchworth State park is an awesome park in Western New York. It is literally in the middle of no where.

We visited in the early summer of 2008.  We were driving on roads with houses and our gas was slowly getting towards empty.  It was nerve racking.  When we finally got tot he park area we stopped for gas and it was an old pump that did not take credit cards.  Ha ha.

This park has 3 main waterfalls:  Upper, Middle and Lower.

We visited the lower falls first.  Just park in the lower falls parking lot.  Trail is to your right.  Follow until it splits.  We then stayed to the right to get this view of the falls.  It is very misty in this area.


Middle falls.  We went to Inspiration point to get this view of Middle Falls.  You are pretty high up at the is point and you can see Upper falls in the distance.


We also just hiked down from lower falls and went to the small platform next to the falls.  But was very sunny and very misty.  

To reach Upper falls we took the paved trail from Middle Falls.  It was hard to get a good picture as the sun was very harsh.


Letchworth has other falls we did not see.  This was one of our first waterfall trips and we were newbies.  So we missed:

Inspiration falls
