Middle Falls of the Genesee River (Letchworth) Julie and I spent plenty of time trying to find different ways to photograph this often photographed waterfall. We tried to get the full view of the falls by standing on the barricade right at the frontal viewing spot, we tried to photograph the falls from its side, and we even tried to convey the scale of the waterfall by photographing onlookers checking out the waterfall. I remembered when I tried to convey the sense of scale of this waterfall on my photographs, there were ladies at the overlook who waved to me and decided to pose (though they look really small in the photo). Not sure I've had that happen to me before :) From Portageville, the state highway 436 junctions with state highway 19A, where we turned right and then followed SH19A for about a 1/4-mile before turning right onto the Park Road. We then followed the Park Road for about 1.25 miles (past the Upper Falls) turning right onto a detour road taking us past various picnic areas as well as the couple of car parks for Middle Falls of the Genesee River. I recalled just parking at the one closer to the top of the falls and just walking to all the various vantage points.
