Scottwdw > This stone footbridge was built in 1935 below the Lower Falls giving views of those falls and the gorge area. The previous photo of the Lower Falls was taken from here. The bridge spans 46 feet and is 35 feet above the Genesee River. It is the only pedestrian crossing of the river in Letchworth State Park. (reference Waymarking.com) Bring waterproof footwear with you if you hike down from the Parade Grounds. The platform above, stairs to get to here and bridge are muddy and extremely slippery.
Scottwdw > Tourists getting photographed with the Middle Falls behind them in the overlook you saw in the last picture.
Scottwdw > Glen Iris Inn is not only an inn but a fabulous restaurant. Open seasonally from March to November, use the link to find out how to make reservations to stay or eat, annual events and directions. The Glen Iris Inn is a popular place to hold weddings and other functions.
Scottwdw > A couple takes a break from climbing the stone stairs above the Upper Falls. There are literally thousands of steps constructed throughout the park.
Scottwdw > Lower Falls is a 70 foot tall waterfall and flows all year round.
Scottwdw > Middle Falls again from the Glen Iris Inn Overlook. You can see a closer overlook below showing some of the stone walls built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) back in the 1930's.
Scottwdw > Overlooking the gorge from Trail No. 7. That's Middle Falls below. This gives you the scale of the gorge as the Genesee River has carved it over millennia. This is the less developed side of the park which is opposite the Glen Iris Inn. Lots of trails lead to and along the gorge. Careful there! There's no railings!
Scottwdw > 50th anniversary rededication plaque in front of the Glen Iris Inn overlooking Middle Falls. For more on the history of the park, visit the Letchworth Park History website.
Scottwdw > Upper Falls is a horseshoe shapped waterfall. Think of it as a mini version of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls as it's only 70 feet in height. You can see the footings of the railroad trestle (see below) in the upper right of this photo.
