グリーン郡周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Regarded as one of The Catskills’ greatest lookouts, Inspiration Point truly lives up to the name. Still, don't let the name fool you as there isn't just a single viewpoint on the trail. In fact you'll have many excellent views as you make your way up and down the mountains.

Nice overlook along Long Trail. There is a great view onto the Kaaterskill Wild Forest valley.

The last part of the hike to reach this viewpoint is quite a scramble, but the views are incredible. Be careful: You get such incredible views from this place because it's truly a ledge, with exactly the sort of long, steep drop-off that implies.

The views from the top of Kaaterskill Falls are stunning, hikers can stand on a platform that extends over the forest edge, viewing the eastern Catskill Mountains and falls. Kaaterskill Falls, a two-stage waterfall on Spruce Creek, drops 260 feet from the top to the base of its second tier. As a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, it attracts over 200,000 visitors annually and has been a central attraction in the Catskill Park Forest Preserve since the early 1800s.

A short spur trail will lead you to this great viewpoint over the mountains. If you're hiking the Hunter Mountain Loop trail there's really no reason not to take the extra few minutes to hike out to the overlook.

Though the falls are relatively short, at only 15 feet, they are in a stunning location and make for great photos. Keep in mind that the falls may be easy to access the trail has plenty of rocks and can be slippery so proper footwear is essential. Also, this is a beautiful location all year round, but visiting during the fall color season is truly special.

Rumor has it that this location served as a hideout for bandits in the area, earning it the name Badmans Cave. Although it's not technically a cave but more of a shelter, it remains a cool place with a unique history.
