Wasserfälle im Catskill Park

Scenic Waterfalls

The Catskill Mountains of New York house a dense concentration of vertical drops and cascades shaped by the region's sandstone and shale geology. This collection includes the 260-foot Kaaterskill Falls, New York’s highest two-tier waterfall, alongside more secluded sites like Diamond Notch Falls. These locations are distributed across the Sundown, Delaware, and Kaaterskill Wild Forests, with access points ranging from roadside viewing areas to junctions on the Devil’s Path and Long Path hiking trails.
