    Easily access park along the Genesee river bank. I just discovered it and was enchanted by the beauty and serenity of the place. Impressive and similar gorge to Leitchworth Pk. The rock formation is older than 400 Million y.o.!!! It the middle of the park there is a mini Stonehenge like monument to humankind.. Neat.

    Let's talk about this hike. It is not a strenuous walk to see some pretty amazing views of the lower falls of the Genesee River. A must do in Rochester. We parked at the Maplewood YMCA, then walked the Lower Falls Pathway. There's a foot trail that you have to walk down to actually get to the water (by hopping over a small railing) then walk the rocky shore to get some killer views of the falls. The photos show it all. Then, after your hike, check out the Maplewood Rose Garden.

    Amazing spot. 1) The Lower falls is huge. It is must visit. 2) The best pic is from the bridge outside the park. 3) Also, there are great artwork inside the park.

    I visited here recently and even though the main waterfall was closed due to falling rocks, it was…read morestill 100% worth the trip. We were able to see the medium and smaller waterfalls and I was blown away by how beautiful it was. There are incredible views everywhere you turn with tons of photo spots and scenic overlooks. The trails are really well maintained and were a good easy hike. I also love how much there is to do here beyond just hiking. There are biking trails, horseback riding, and even skiing in the winter. It feels like a park you could come back to in every season and have a completely different experience. There is also a welcome center with a small gift shop and a nature center. You could easily spend a whole day here. I loved it!

    If you haven't been to Letchworth State, fix that. It feels like it's out in the middle of nowhere,…read morebut it is worth the drive no matter where you are coming from. This park is great in every season, and we are lucky to have it here. Most people show up for the waterfalls and the views of the gorge. They deserve the hype. The scenery alone is worth the price of admission and a solid chunk of your day. If you stop there, you are missing out. Dig deeper. Come in the winter and see the ice volcano. It feels like something too cool for WNY. Stop by during the hot air balloon festival in the summer and watch the sky fill with color over the gorge. Get off the rim trail and explore the trails that go through the woods. Make time for the less populated side of the park. Fewer people, more natural trails, and no admission fee. It has a completely different vibe and is perfect if you want something a little more peaceful.
