Why you should go…

The Genesee River runs through this park over three major waterfalls, between cliffs that reach as high as 600 feet in places. You can hike about 66 miles of trails, or try horseback riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking and hot air ballooning. The Glen Iris Inn overlooks Middle Falls, and the Humphrey Nature Center and the Autism Nature Trail are both inside the park. Winter brings snow tubing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
