Visitors can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails that are also available for horseback riding, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Letchworth offers nature, history and performing arts programs, guided walks, tours, a summer lecture series, whitewater rafting, kayaking and hot air ballooning.

The Humphrey Nature Center offers year-round environmental education opportunities including programs and interactive exhibits highlighting the geology, wildlife and ecology of the park.
