AND 20TH, 2008
The south entrance to Letchworth Park is also apparently under construction and will likely be closed. So for those approaching from the south, the Castile entrance can be used and is just a bit to the north of the south entrance. It should only add about 5 minutes to your drive time. See this link for directions from the South Entrance to the Castile Entrance. The directions below are from I-390 in Dansville all the way to the Castile Entrance.
For those approaching from the north and east, the most direct route is the north entrance to the park and following the park road. Here is a link for directions from the I-390 exit to the north entrance of the park. It will take about 25 minutes from the I-90/I-390 interchange to get to the Mt. Morris exit on I-390. The park road is about 15 miles long and the speed limit is 20 mph! Give yourself enough time to get to the south end of the park. The total drive time from the Rochester International Airport, through the park to Trailside Lodge is on the order 1 hour and 15 minutes. As an alternate, the park can be bypassed and the Castile Entrance can be access via Mt. Morris – Nunda – Portageville – Castile Entrance.
For those approaching directly from west there are plenty of options via State Roads. From the southwest, use Route 19 and then 19A from I-86. From the northwest, Routes 19, then 19a can be used from I-90.
