Great waterfalls in the Catskills area!
Kaaterskill Falls的点评
点评：Great visit to Kaaterskill Falls on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
Decided to visit mid-week to avoid the crowds as it approached peak fall colors...I think October 7th was a bit too early...another week or so would have been better for colors.
I have read that the Main Trailhead Lot (Laurel House Road), closest to the waterfall trails, fills up quickly during the fall. I arrived there at 8:30am and was the 9th car in the 40-50-capacity parking lot. When I left at 11:30am, the lot was full and staff was routing visiting from the main road (North Lake Road) to the Scutt Road parking lot...which is a bit further away from the falls.
Once parked, the fall viewing platform was a short 0.1 mile walk. It offers some lovely views of the falls from higher up.
From there, the walk to the lower falls was about 0.5 miles, but be advised that there are lots of steps (over 300) to get from the top of the falls to the bottom of the falls.
You can walk even further from the base of the falls, along Spruce Creek, toward Route 23A and you will get to Bastion Falls.
Since I arrived earlier, there were too many people on the trails...which made picture-taking a lot easier. I suspect the crowds increase as the area approached peak fall colors and on the weekends...so plan accordingly.
The falls were great...I actually preferred the lower falls viewing area, for its consistent lighting and heavier waterfall flow. The upper was very high but the flow wasn't as heavy.
The park is well-maintained with efficient trail marking and directional signage throughout.
Free to park and enter the park/waterfall area.
Port a potties in parking lot...are as clean as you can expect from a popular public parking port a potty.

翻译：2026年10月7日星期三，我愉快地游览了卡特斯基尔瀑布。
为了避开人群，我特意选择在工作日前往，因为当时正值秋季色彩最绚烂的时期……不过我觉得10月7日其实还稍早了些，再晚一周左右或许能看到更美的秋景。
我事先了解到，离瀑布步道最近的主停车场（位于劳雷尔豪斯路）在秋季时常很快便停满车辆。我早上8点半到达时，停车场可容纳40至50辆车，而我的车是第9辆停进去的。当我上午11点半离开时……停车场已经停满车辆，工作人员正在引导游客从主干道（北湖路）前往斯库特路停车场……那里离瀑布稍远一些。
停车后，只需步行0.1英里就能到达观瀑台。从高处可以欣赏到瀑布的美丽景色。
从观瀑台再往下走到下层瀑布大约需要走0.5英里，不过请注意：从瀑布顶端走到底端需要攀爬300多级台阶。从瀑布底部出发，沿着云杉溪向23A号公路方向继续前行，便能抵达巴斯蒂恩瀑布。
由于我来得比较早，此时步道上人还不多……这也让拍照变得容易了许多。我推测，随着秋季彩叶景观达到最佳观赏期以及周末的到来，游客数量会大幅增加……因此请提前做好规划。
那里的瀑布很棒……实际上我更喜欢下方的观瀑区，因为那里的光线更为稳定，瀑布水量也更充沛。上游水位很高，但水流并不湍急。
公园维护得很好，各处都有清晰的步道标记和指示牌。
停车及进入公园/瀑布区均免费。
停车场里的移动厕所……以一处受欢迎的公共停车场而言，其清洁程度算得上不错了。
