Stone Foot Bridge - Letchworth State Park, New York - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

This Stone Foot Bridge is located in Letchworth State Park, New York. This bridge was constructed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The 46 foot long stone structure stands 35 feet above the Genesee River, and is the only pedestrian crossing of the Genesee in Letchworth State Park.

As a testament to the CCC's craftsmanship, in 1972, during Hurricane Agnes, the Genesee River rose and crashed over the bridge. However the bridge was so well built that it withstood the battereing and remained intact.

Standing on the bridge, hikers get a spectacular view of Letchworth's Lower Falls, the raging rapids of the Genesee River and the steep shale gorge walls.
