Long before you hear it, you’ll feel it—the pulse of Kaaterskill Falls echoing through the forest. This is more than a hike; it’s a trek to one of the Catskills’ most iconic natural wonders. Weave through towering trees with me, climb natural rock staircases, and listen as the roar of cascading water grows louder with every step.
• Meet at the Kaaterskill Falls trailhead for check-in and equipment fitting. Here, you’ll
receive snowshoes or climbing spikes as needed, and get a quick rundown of the trail route and what to expect.
• Begin the climb through towering woodland, followed by the Lower Falls Viewing Area for a mesmerizing, ground-level look at the cascading water.
• Next, tackle a steeper incline as the landscape transforms into rugged rock formations. Natural ledges offer sweeping vistas of the Catskill Mountains along this stretch, and spots to rest and hydrate.
• When you reach the Upper Falls Lookout, the full splendor of Kaaterskill Falls unfolds. But your ascent doesn’t end there. Continue to the very top and enjoy a moment of tranquility while soaking in panoramic views.
As you descend and step away from the trail, the roar of the falls and the crisp mountain air will linger, calling you back for your next adventure.
