A story of great beauty Portageville, N.Y. - Letchworth State Park today is 17 miles of natural beauty and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state. It wasn’t always that way. The acres surrounding the Genesee River as it drops ...

Oh, so you think that you can "double dog dare" me into it? I wish we could go. Mike said that it sounded fun too! The only thing that I would be afraid of is seeing myself in a wetsuit!

I knew I added that smilie for a reason.

Poverty. My Jeep sits idle because it needs a brake job, all the critters are overdue at the vet, two baby showers in the near future...no fun stuff for Brenda any time soon.

I think 15-20 total are going with my group but just myself, Julie, Matt and Shana from the forum.
What's your excuse Brenda?

How many folks have signed up? It sounds like a blast! I hope y'all get lots of photos to post!

Which means deep down people really want to come along but they're chicken.

this thread has over 4,400 views.

Cool! Thanks for posting that. Adventure Calls is really all about making sure everyone on the trip has a good time. Even if the weather is crappy or if you're a newbie, the guides do a really good job in getting everyone "into it". Looks like we're going to have cold, wet weather early th...

Angry rapids churn rafters through Letchworth State Park LETCHWORTH STATE PARK — I knew it was going to be a good day when the skin-tight wet suit Kevin Kretschmer handed me zipped up without having to ask for a larger size. Maybe the long ...

Lol. This only thing she will be concerned with is the drive through Canada. I just read at US Department of State that we don't need a passport just a photo ID and probably a birth certificate.


And I thank you for the welcome…

My plan (I haven’t presented it to my wife)

Welcome to the forum, Jerry.

My plan (I haven’t presented it to my wife) is to see about 4 or 5 lighthouses around Lake Ontario, and maybe Akron Falls, then head down to Letchworth and then stopping at Niagara on the way home. We will be in the area for 4 days and staying at hotels along the way… I’m thinking about the ...

... wide angle anyways. I wouldn't expect long lines for the time you are crossing. Will you be hitting Niagara Falls too? Will you be staying in Letchworth park? I see you shoot lighthouses too. There is one in Rochester (Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse- 30 minutes north). You may be able to check ...

Matt - After looking more at this site I found you are the founder. Very nice site and very nice pictures...

Hi Matt - Thanks for your reply. I like the C-8080 but I wish it had a better (longer) zoom... I live in Michigan, just north of Detroit. My wife and I like to go Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to view waterfalls but we're looking for new scenery and Lectworth will be a shorter drive :D . Looking at som...

Hey Jerry, Welcome to the board. I see you shoot with an Oly c-8080. I used that camera to shoot most of my photos for this site. There's one major dam in the park (the Mt Moris Damn) and it shouldn't be backed up at this time- It usually backs up the river during the snow-melt and after heavy, heav...

Hello - I'm thinking of visiting Letchworth State Park May 23rd and 24th to view waterfalls. I've read (somewhere) that in the spring some dams are closed so some falls aren't worth viewing, does anyone know if that is true? Also, will the ...

I decided not to buy a new waterproof camera for this (I had to buy a new computer). So I will be camera-less.

I'm sure Shana will love it. It's still a lot of fun even when it's cold! You get such a workout that you forget how cold you are. Looks like we're going to have about 15 people. Don't forget to bring a waterproof camera if you can. You should be able to get some shots of Wolf Creek Falls for the si...
