Letchworth State Park

Time for our fall vacation.  This year we are going to Letchworth State Park, Niagara Falls and Cleveland.

Letchworth State Park, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East, is located in Castile, NY.  We stayed in Portageville.  Never heard of it?  This little hamlet has no street lights, stores, or restaurants.  We had to travel abut 20 minutes to find a place to eat.  But, we were only a short distance to the park.

On our first day,  we drove into the park and were amazed at all of the people there.  Come to find out, there was a huge craft show going on.  The park is very picturesque with waterfalls, canyons and rivers.

We spent two days in the park, walking and marveling at the beauty of the trees, water and sky.  There were 300 vendors at the craft festival selling everything from fried pickles to paintings.

What I never did figure out was where all the 1000's of people visiting came from or went to.  The roads around the park were empty as well as the few restaurants we were able to find.
