🦇 Rarely-seen bat spotted at Letchworth State Park! 🎃 We waited until Halloween weekend to share this video from a Park employee showing an eastern red bat in classic red bat pose, roosting in a low-growing tree on Oct. 4. 🔎 The nature clues that tell us this is a red bat are its reddish color, its very short nose, and its beautiful white armpit hairs. 🌎 Red bats are migratory tree bats. That means that they mostly live alone, travel vast distances to survive winter, and rest in trees rather

🐗 The Hogsback is one of Letchworth State Park’s most dramatic geological features. 💦 When the glaciers rerouted the Genesee River to this course about 10,000 years ago, the river found a path of least resistance through the softest shale rock, leaving this long spur of larger-particled rock intact. 🐷 Europeans thought that this looked like the standing hairs on the back of a male pig and called this “the hog’s back.” 🗞 Historic Site Assistant Karen Russell found an early reference to this o

⛺️First time to Letchworth?⛺️ Add Archery Field Overlook to the list of must-sees. This is one of the ‘Grand Canyon of the East’ views.

📍Humphrey Nature Center, between the Visitor Center and Inspiration Point. Nature Center open daily 10am to 5pm. 🦋We raise, tag, and release monarch butterflies every summer to help map their migration routes to central Mexico, over 2,500 miles away. ✈️Butterfly releases are whenever the butterflies show signs that they’re ready, never a specific time. That said, 10am is a good bet, because thats when we release all the butterflies that hatched from chrysalises overnight! 🐛We have lots of cat

❄️Snow can make the falls thunder, just like a rainstorm. 🌊The Genesee River drains rain and snow melt from the foothills of Appalachia in northern PA, flowing north and carving three huge canyons and waterfalls in Letchworth State Park, then another canyon and three more falls in the city of Rochester before its big finish in Lake Ontario. 📍When roads close for winter weather, this view is only accessible through the Castile entrance, 6787 Denton Corners Road, Castile, NY.

The timberdoodle, woodcock, “Labrador Twister” is rarely seen, rarely photographed, rarely caught doing this iconic funky walk. 📍And in comes a park visitor with this incredible footage from the Gardeau area. A once in a lifetime moment! None of the nature center staff have seen this in person. Awesome! 💫The walk is a meme, it’s hilarious, but for real why do they walk like that? 🪱We don’t really know, but some smart folks think it helps them find worms (major part of their

The Genesee River’s diverse landscapes like canyons and floodplains make these are some of the most diverse forests at this latitude in the world. Every tree species turns a different color, making Letchworth a kaleidoscope in fall! 🍃So far, it’s a sea of green, maybe a couple overachiever trees going for it. 👀Follow I LOVE NY for official statewide foliage reports. 🎃When’s “peak?” October.

Looking east toward Great Bend from Humphrey’s Overlook, a lot of trees are absolutely exploding with color. There are still plenty of trees to go! If you’re planning to visit us to see the fall foliage, it’s looking like it would be better to come before mid-October. To get to this spot, head north from the Castile gate or south from th

😱We’ve all heard the rumors…”fishers are nasty, they scream like a woman being attacked, they eat cats…” 🦊Locals know these guys are like foxes. Capable small predators, sure, so lock up your chickens at night, but they are adorable little pest eaters that are just fun to see in the woods, no danger to us. 🌱Like bobcat, otter, or bear, fishers are original old Genesee Country predators that were here in the days of Mary Jemison.

👀The face in the falls is out again! Look closely at the rocks in Middle Falls for the profile of a person’s face. Is it Iris, the Greek goddess of rainbows, making her rainbows in the basin below? William Pryor Letchworth, after whom the Park is named, loved Greek mythology. This face can only be seen when the Genesee River discharge around Middle Falls is less than about 220 cubic feet of water per second, which is typical for this time of year. Today, the River discharge around Middle Falls

🌳From here at Humphrey’s Overlook, it looks like an unbroken sea of treetops stretches to the edge of sight.🌳 Letchworth State Park only makes up the nearest mile or so of trees in this frame, which shows us just how much the entire Genesee Valley has reforested since 150 years ago. If we went back in our imaginary time machines and stood here 150 years ago, almost the entire valley, including much of what is now Letchworth State Park, would be farm fields. The return of the trees helped the p
