Letchworth State Park
There aren't too many times in your family's years of growing together or apart that you can look back to a summer vacation/place that you have gone back to year after year and have good memories after good memories of those times. Such was our simple summer vacations at a New York State Park called Letchworth named after William Prior Letchworth, a Buffalo business man and philanthropist who after his passing in 1910 donated to New York State his summer country home and lands comprising 1,000 original acres of land around the Genesee River and three gorgeous water falls. Thus was the beginning of Letchworth State Park... voted the #1 "State Park" in the Nation in 2015 for scenary.
See our galleries below of this amazing park and the years in pictures we spent there vacationing. Take your time in each gallery, they will continually recycle!
