Love Letchworth State Park

My Son asked that before he leaves for US Army Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood MO that our family go camping up at Letchworth State Park NY and also visit Niagara Falls Canada.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the park, this was our second trip to the Letchworth State Park and it is now one of our favorite places. My only regret is that we were there Sunday to Friday (cheaper) and next time I think it will be a Tuesday to a Tuesday lots of things to do on the weekends.

While there we ran into two couples from the forum and had the privilege of sharing our fire with one of them.

The trails are great and the water falls are awesome, we went one night and just sat at the falls to read our books.







  • Tell your son to always fall in the middle of the ranks.******details are called from each end.

  • Heading there next weekend for a week for the first time. Looking forward to it.
  • I'll have to agree with you - Letchworth is one of my favorite NY state parks, however my all time favorite state park in the US is in your state - Ricketts Glen.
