Easy Access via Perry Entrance

Perry is the perfect gateway to Letchworth. 

The Perry entrance to the Park - just three miles from downtown - puts you in the center of Letchworth Park, directly across from the campground entrance. A few miles south to the overlooks, trailside lodge and Glen Iris Inn; a few miles north to the Mt Morris Dam and Highbanks recreation area (where the Letchworth Arts & Crafts Show and Sale is held anually on Columbus Day Weekend). From mid-June through September, a Saturday trip combining a morning at Perry Farmers' Market with an afternoon at Letchworth Park is a popular combination.

Letchworth offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks and tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking, hot air ballooning and a pool for swimming. Winter activities include snow tubing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and horse-drawn sleigh rides.

For professional and organizational retreats, educational and training needs can be met at the Conference Center. 

Located in a secluded area at the southwest portion of Letchworth State Park, the facility consists of a spacious country lodge room, bedrooms, bathrooms with showers and a kitchen.
