Viewing platform above Kaaterskill Falls frames a dramatic two-tier 260-foot cascade set in Hudson Valley forest — ideal for wide scenic shots, long exposures, and seasonal color. Best at golden hour or after rain for fuller flow. Short, steep walk from parking; expect Park signage, limited spaces and seasonal closures. Weekday mornings reduce crowds; bring traction in winter.
