Evergreen Trails Campground

The Great Outdoors

Motorhome camping at Evergreen Trails Campground is a good base for visiting Letchworth State Park, which is renowned for its spectacular gorge carved by the Genesee River. A paved road along the west side of the gorge accesses its series of impressive waterfalls, with elevated viewpoints overlooking the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls. Hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking are all possible in Letchworth State Park during the summer months while snow enthusiasts can go cross-country skiing and snow tubing during the winter season. Also nearby is the Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area, a popular hiking, fishing, and hunting destination. It’s named after the timber rattlesnake, which was once prevalent in some parts of the Wildlife Management Area, although you’re more likely to see white-tailed deer, gray squirrels, and cottontail rabbits today. Try your luck at luring trout in Sugar Creek, Hovey Brook, and Canaseraga Creek, which are all stocked on an annual basis, or get active while exploring the network of scenic hiking trails.Directly west of the RV campground is the Allen Lake State Forest, which centers around the human-made waters of Allen Lake. This is another popular trout fishing destination, with both brown and rainbow trout stocked during the spring while largemouth bass and several species of panfish are also for the taking. Get out on the waters by boat and canoe or fish from the 1,600-foot earthen dike. If you’re visiting during the winter months, ice fishing is also permitted on the lake.
