Hi- Letchworth State Park is in western New York, about an hour south of Rochester. The park has entrances at Castile, Mount Morris, and Portageville. The Castile entrance, on the west side of the park, is the only entrance that is open year-round. The other two will not be open if there is snow on the ground.
