Gorge Trail
Letchworth State Park

Letchworth is often called the Grand Canyon of the East, and once you set off on the Gorge Trail, you’ll easily see why. The trail follows the western rim of the Letchworth Gorge with direct access to all of the spectacular vistas of the south end of the park including Tea Table Rock, Wolf Creek, the Great Bend Overlook, the Lower Falls, Middle Falls, Upper Falls and many, many incredible views not seen by the average park visitor. Also, you’ll enjoy the wildlife and vegetation along the Genesee River. You’ll find the northern trailhead in the lower St. Helena picnic area and its southern trailhead above the Upper Falls directly under the Railroad Trestle. If hiking seven miles is too challenging, you can create a shorter hike and still enjoy plenty of views. Take care with small children, since areas of the trail are exposed.
