Known as "the Grand Canyon of the East", Letchworth is home to noteworthy waterfalls, dramatic cliffs, and scenic views overlooking Letchworth Gorge.

The best trail in Letchworth State Park is the Gorge Trail, which passes by three waterfalls and then runs along the rim of the gorge.

To see all three waterfalls, start your hike at the Upper Falls. Follow the trail from the Upper Falls, past the middle falls and down to the lower falls. This makes for a great, scenic hike that clocks in at just under 4 miles on way.

Alternatively, you can pick a spot on the lawn and set up a picnic or just hang out between the upper and lower falls - hardly any hiking required.

The entire Gorge Trail is is 7 miles long (one way). While the entire Gorge Trail typically takes an average hiker about 6-7 hours to complete, you definitely don't have to hike the whole thing.
