Letchworth State Park is in western New York, 40 miles south of Rochester and 50 miles south east of Buffalo. There is a lot to do and see at Letchworth State Park.

The Middle Falls are very impressive. They are hard to miss from the parking area. The lodge is right next to the falls. They light the falls up at night.

You can get some very nice distant views of the Middle Falls from Inspiration Point and from Trail #7 on the east side of the park. Trail #7 starts at and follows the path of an old canal and railway. You can get some fabulous views of the gorge from here. The trail sort of fades out in the vicinity of the Middle Falls. The area is apparently unstable and subject to slides. There are lots of signs warning you that various trails are closed and that the area is dangerous. I could not find any closer views from the east side. It is a long way down, so be careful if you go exploring.

Here is a short movie of the falls taken in January on a cold day when the water levels were high.

Nearby Falls

The Upper Letchworth Falls are a short walk away. Just head towards the high railroad bridge. The Lower Letchworth Falls are about 2 miles downstream. It is a nice walk, but you can drive there if you wish.
