One thing our residents are never struggling to find is a serene getaway where you can unwind and take in the endless supply of beauty all around you. From mind-blowing state parks to secret getaways out-of-towners would never know about, we’re always partial to relaxing by one of our breathtaking waterfalls. Referred to by many as the “Grand Canyon of The East,” Letchworth State Park found in Castille out in Western New York is one of the most spectacular places you can visit in our state.

Roughly 17 miles long, Letchworth has amazing hiking trails to explore that are always maintained well and will take your breath away.
