What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility, located within Letchworth State Park (requiring a $10 per car entrance fee), offers free access to two large, clean pools: a main pool (4-5 feet deep) with a handicapped access ramp, and a separate 9-foot deep diving pool. While the showers and locker rooms are noted as needing updates, the pools are well-maintained, not overly chlorinated, and generally do not feel crowded due to their size.

This place is nicely nestled in Letchworth state park. The showers and locker room could use an update. Both pools are large and pretty clean. Not a bad chemical overload either. The pool is free however you do have to pay $10 per car to get into Letchworth

This pool is free to all visitors. The shallow end has a handicapped access ramp and it extends to maximum four feet deep. There is also nine foot deep pool for diving. Recently, Adirondack chairs were added and there are a good number available.

The pool is huge, so even if it's busy Ir doesn't feel super crowded. There is a little shade around the edge if you need to get out of the sun. The pool was super clean. I highly suggest that you stop and check it out

It was exactly what i expected. There are 2 pools. The 2nd smaller 1 is the deep end. The large pool doesn't go over 5 feet. Lots of parking and and bathrooms. Easy hiking area with amazing views near the pool area and lots of places to chill and cook out.
