The beauty of the Catskills’ heights and graceful waterfalls along with the placid landscape of the Hudson Valley provide great opportunities for exploring the county's natural splendor. With so many choices, it can be difficult to decide which highlights to visit first. Listed here are some of the best short walks and hikes in Greene County. Diamond Notch Falls: Among the most pleasant spots in the eastern United States, this 15-foot fall is a hidden gem. Matched with a cascade that will one day rob the falls of their water, the beautiful scene results from the West Kill’s efforts to erode the mountainsides. High mountains loom around the stream valley, creating a cooler climate and a remote atmosphere. To reach the falls, drive to the eastern end of Spruceton Valley along County Road 6 (off State Route 42 north of Deep Notch). An old roadbed continues east of the parking area, heading for Diamond Notch, which separates Hunter and Westkill Mountains. Diamond Notch Falls are located about three-quarters of a mile from the trailhead. The walk to Diamond Notch, about another two and a half miles round trip, is scenic as well.

Cohotate Preserve RamsHorn – Livingston Sanctuary Pine Hollow Campground Forlini’s Marina Pratt's Rocks: In the mid-1800’s, Zadock Pratt ran one of the largest leather tanneries in the United States. A prideful person, Pratt served two terms in the U.S. Congress. He was an avid breeder of prized horses and dogs. To immortalize himself and his loves, Pratt hired stonecutters to shape the rocks overlooking the Schoharie Valley east of Prattsville.From the parking area, located along New York Route 23, about one mile west of its intersection with Route 23A, the trail leads to a picnic area and kiosk with background information about Pratt. A series of interwoven trails follow a moderate grade to the carvings. Above the carvings, the trail continues for a short distance leading to a series of southeast facing ledges with great views of the Schoharie Valley, Bearpen and Vly mountains. Guided Tours Blackdome Mtn. Guide Service PO Box 71, East Jewett, NY 12424 589-9159 Offers guided hikes, snowshoeing, horse pack trips and big game hunting on horse back for one day or more. Guided hunts on foot or horseback for White Tail Deer and Black Bear, Nov. - Dec. Turkey on foot, Oct., Nov., and May. Kaaterskill Falls: At 260 feet, this twotiered fall is the highest cascading waterfall in New York State. First publicized in the early 1800’s, this fall attracted tourists, painters and poets. Formed by a combination of glacial erosion and the interplay of two different types of rock, the waterfall is a product of the water, ice and rock that have manipulated Lake Creek's stream bed. Parking for the half-mile trail begins onetenth mile west of the horseshoe bend on Route 23A at Bastion Falls. The trail follows the stream through a forest of sugar maple, American beech, yellow birch and hemlock trees. The clove’s steep walls trap moisture and limit light. Although rocky, the route is not difficult. The trail ends at the fall’s base. Newman's Ledge and the Catskill Mountain House site: In the mid and late 1800’s this area was among the premier resorts in the new world. The Catskill Mountain House was a summer retreat for European nobility and America’s nouveau riche. The fantastic vistas from the hotel’s front steps overlooked fifty miles of the Hudson Valley and into New England. The view and hotel became the inspiration for everything for wood carvings to landscape masterpieces. Although the mountain house is gone, this area is readily accessible. From the beach parking area at North Lake State Park (a day use fee is required), follow the signs and head up the dirt road to the mountain house site. After returning to the parking area, follow the Escarpment Trail (blue markers) north for about a quartermile. At this point the trail wanders onto a high ledge overlooking the Hudson Valley. The view is incredible. On a day with good air quality Mt. Greylock in Massachusetts and the Green Mountains in Vermont are visible. Directly east, in Massachusetts, rises Mt. Everett. The Escarpment Trail continues north to many other fine vistas including Sunset Rock, Artists Point and North Point.

Park at the end of Laurel House Lane and walk straight down the beaten path where a view worth seeing is waiting for you. 25 24 All telephone are codes are 518 unless otherwise stated Outdoor Adventures Outdoor Adventures Fishing and Hunting – The Greener Side of the Catskills With roots extending back to the exploration of our beautiful Hudson River Valley in the late 1600’s, Greene County’s varied fishing opportunities are still to be ranked at the top of any angler’s list. Veteran trout anglers are always lured back to our streams by the chance to sample the very same fishing enjoyed and immortalized by Art Flick in his bible for the trout fisherman — “The Streamside Guide”. We have over 50 wild trout streams encompassing 221 miles of storybook fishing: the East Kill, Catskill, Schoharie and Ten Mile creeks offer 26 miles of fishing access, where brook, brown and rainbow trouts abound. The world-famous Hudson River, situated on the eastern border of the county, provides the perfect setting for the black bass fisherman. Thanks to the river’s super-abundance of fish life, with more than 76 species calling it home, largemouth bass have plenty on which to forage and their growth rate is not exceeded elsewhere in New York State. Almost every weekend between May and October, Greene County hosts a bass fishing tournament, at the state, regional or national level with the world’s largest fishing organization, the Bass Angler’s Sportsmen’s Society (B.A.S.S.) visiting our shores with their tournament trail on multiple occasions.
