Hike at Letchworth
Letchworth State Park is a wonderful place to visit any time of the year but it is a must-see in the fall!
We've talked about a hike and some playgrounds we hit up within the park weeks ago, but here's some tips before heading out:
We've talked about a hike and some playgrounds we hit up within the park weeks ago, but here's some tips before heading out:
- The $10 vehicle entrance fee is collected daily from 5/25 - 10/28: 9 am - 5 pm.
- To avoid the fee, plan ahead and check out the Empire State Pass from the Library for free entry. You can search online to see what libraries offer this pass
- The park has been filling to capacity on weekends. Try to visit on weekdays and early mornings and be sure to check the website before heading out for any closure notifications.
- The upper/middle falls area is most popular and thus likely to fill to capacity faster. Consider driving a bit further to hike the lower falls and avoid the crowds.
