Letchworth State Park

The legend of Mon-a-sha-sha is haunting, tragic and beautiful. It is the story of a young Seneca bride who perished, with her child, in the great cataract known today as the Letchworth Gorge. Their spirits are said to live today in the elusive white deer of Letchworth State Park. The park stretches for seventeen miles from Castile to Portageville. The upper falls, near the historic Glen Iris Restaurant and Inn often provide awesome double rainbows to spectators while they view the majesty of the thundering waters as they cascade down into the gorge.  The lower falls are an incredible hiking experience for those who don't mind the 127 or more steps back up. Their are two public swimming pools, charcoal grills, and playgrounds as well

Few locations rival the majesty of "The Grand Canyon of the East." The Gorges of Letchworth State Park are magnificent, and provide an excellent location for a memorable balloon ride. the park is perfect for hiking, swimming, picnicing, horseback riding, snowmobiling. We would be delighted to arrange for a hot air balloon package for you (weather conditions are always a factor of course) or we will pack a delightful picnic complete with blanket and a bottle of bubbly. Call 585-384-5299 for more information)

One really nice feature of your trip to Letchworth State Park from the Villa Serendip. You don't have to double back through the park to return to your Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast as the distance to each end of the park is virtually the same from our inn.
