Balloons Over Letchworth is the only exclusive hot air balloon company to launch from within Letchworth State Park, offering unique and spectacular views of the waterfalls, gorge, and scenery of the “Grand Canyon of the East.” Add the dramatic and stunning regions of Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes, and Balloons Over Letchworth promises your experience to be a thrill of a lifetime.

 
Balloons Over Letchworth has been named one of “8 Amazing Hot Air Balloon Trips – US” by Fox News-Travel, and ranked #13 among World’s Best Hot Air Balloon Rides by MSN Travel!
 

But your adventure does not have to end once your flight touches down. As long as you are in the award-winning Letchworth State Park, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to explore its 66 miles of trails that are also available for horseback riding and biking (and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter). The park is home to more than 20 waterfalls and the Genesee Rivers roars through the gorge over three of the major waterfalls offering opportunities for whitewater rafting and kayaking fun.

 
But if relaxation is on your to-do list, then why not add a swim in the park’s pool or find a picturesque spot to simply sit and take in the unique beauty this park holds. In 2015, Letchworth won the USA TODAY Readers’ Choice Award for Best State Park in the United States.

 
If you are a camper, the park offers an array of tent and trailer campsites as well as winterized cabins. For a little more upscale or romantic stay at the park, book a room or suite at the park’s Glen Iris Inn which also features an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks.
