1 Letchworth State Park Castile, NY , 14427 Phone: 585-493-3600 Website This 14,350-acre state park, which is 17 miles long, is known as the "Grand Canyon of the East" because of its 600-foot-deep gorge. Deep in the gorge, the Genesee River flows over 20 waterfalls, including three main ones. The park has 66 miles of hiking trails, along with trails for horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. The land, once owned by William Pryor Letchworth, a Buffalo businessman, was donated to the state in 1859. Letchworth's former country estate, the Glen Iris Inn, is now a country inn and restaurant. Camping is also available at the park year-round.
