Lecthworth State Park, NY


Kris and I visited Letchworth State Park over the weekend. The park has been nick named “The Grand Canyon of the east. We agree. The sites are something to behold!

There is a dam which was built to keep Rochester from flooding. The valley has flooded twice in recent years. Once around 1970's and then again early 1990's

The park is 40 miles long with an abundance of trails and sites to see. The first day we arrived we rode our bikes for about 3 hours. This was not just any ride. We were riding on a nice wide smooth trail until of of a sudden we were on a trail that is most suited for back packing. I am so thankful I have taken advantage of all the opportunities to hike and ride my bike at other rv parks before arriving here.
After all this ride we had only traveled about 3 miles from where we parked the truck.
