Rafting at Letchworth State Park, NY


This park is located near Castile, New York about 160km from St. Catharines. The Letchworth Gorge formed by the Genessee River is know as the "Grand Canyon of the East." The park comprises 17,000 acres. We saw a lot of widllife, especially deer, but a lot of the time there were no other people about. The natural beauty of the place is outstanding. There are cabins for rent quite cheaply or slightly more expensive cottages or campsites. The rafting trip that took us about 3 hours costs $27.50 per person (http://www.adventure-calls.com/rafting.html). I recommend this place very highly: http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=12
