SUGGESTED TRAIL
The Kaaterskill Rail Trail to the Viewing Platform and top of the falls. At 3.7 miles, it's almost the same distance as the Scutt Parking lot, but 100% flat.
PRO-TIP
The walk down to the falls consists of over 180+ steps and approx 800 feet of elevation. Although you can descend and come back up at your own pace, please be aware of your physical abilities. You can skip this part and stay at the top of the falls.
