It's easy to see why Letchworth State Park in New York has earned this 'Grand' title. About 96 kilometres southeast of Buffalo, the 27-kilometre long park protects a stunning section of the Genesee River that cuts through a deep gorge. The cliffs, close to 182 metres high in some places, offer knockout views of several waterfalls and the thick deciduous forest. The historic Glen Iris Inn, once the home and refuge of industrialist William Pryor Letchworth, overlooks Middle Falls. In 1906, Letchworth bequeathed his 404-hectare estate to the state of New York. The parcel would become the heart of this 5,838 hectare park that bears his name.
