Where the Waterfalls Are
Kerhonkson sits in or near the Catskills, Hudson and Mohawk Valleys area of New York. Southeastern New York's falls are set in steep, forested mountains close to the Hudson Valley. Kaaterskill Falls, a two-tiered drop on Spruce Creek in the Catskills of Greene County, is one of the oldest tourist attractions in the country and a subject of Hudson River School painters. In Ulster County, the Shawangunk Ridge holds Verkeerder Kill Falls and other drops over white quartz conglomerate, while the eastern Catskills hide falls in narrow cloves. To the north, Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River near its junction with the Hudson is a broad, powerful drop. Otsego, Delaware and Schoharie counties add quieter falls in rolling hill country.
