📍 Inspiration Point…the only spot in the whole park where you can see two giant river waterfalls at the same time.⭐️This place was named by William Pryor Letchworth, the American industrialist turned conservationist, who came here when he owned this property and considered it part of his “Glen Iris” estate and home.🪨 From this view, you can easily find the rock that has a plaque and poem dedicated to Mr. Letchworth’s restoration, preservation, and dedication of this natural landscape.☀️ New to

📍Genesee Arch bridge, the active railroad bridge over Upper Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in Letchworth State Park. 🚂This is the third railroad bridge to stand here. The first was a wooden bridge built in 1852. It was the tallest, longest railroad bridge in the world at the time. 🔥A mysterious fire destroyed the wooden bridge in 1875, but in just two months, a new iron bridge was finished and operational, the Portage Viaduct. 💦In December 2017, after standing for 142 years over the Ge

🌳From here at Humphrey’s Overlook, it looks like an unbroken sea of treetops stretches to the edge of sight.🌳 Letchworth State Park only makes up the nearest mile or so of trees in this frame, which shows us just how much the entire Genesee Valley has reforested since 150 years ago. If we went back in our imaginary time machines and stood here 150 years ago, almost the entire valley, including much of what is now Letchworth State Park, would be farm fields. The return of the trees helped the p

🐗 The Hogsback is one of Letchworth State Park’s most dramatic geological features. 💦 When the glaciers rerouted the Genesee River to this course about 10,000 years ago, the river found a path of least resistance through the softest shale rock, leaving this long spur of larger-particled rock intact. 🐷 Europeans thought that this looked like the standing hairs on the back of a male pig and called this “the hog’s back.” 🗞 Historic Site Assistant Karen Russell found an early reference to this o

🦨We got lucky and saw this little skunk family by park road! 🦌Letchworth State Park is nationally known as important wildlife habitat, due to the twisting and turning of the Genesee River creating many secluded woodlands. 🦫Even on popular trails like Trail 1 or Trail 7, sometimes we see or get trail cam shots of black bears, bobcats, fishers, beavers, mink…and looking up we see eagles, peregrine falcons, herons, and a dizzying variety of nesting wood warblers migrating from as far as South Am
