  Kaaterskill Falls
Kaaterskill Falls is located in the Catskill Mountains, in the town of Hunter 12441, Greene County in the Hudson Valley. Kaaterskill Falls is a two-drop waterfall located in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville. The dual cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making it one of the higher waterfalls in New York, and one of the taller waterfalls in the eastern United States.

Waterfall Statistics
Total height of both falls = 260 feet (79 m)
Height of the longest drop = 180 feet (60 m)
Number of drops 2

The Kaaterskill Falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, with it appearing in some of the most prominent books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Long before Alexis de Tocqueville's famous essay on America, Kaaterskill Falls was lauded as a place where a traveler could see a wilder image, a sort of primeval Eden. Beginning with Thomas Cole's first visit in 1825, they became an icon subject for painters of the Hudson River School, setting the wilderness ideal for American landscape painting. The Falls also inspired "Catterskill Falls", a poem by William Cullen Bryant.
Sourced from several articles including Wikipedia.com

The word is Hiking through the Catskills, on the way to Kaaterskill Falls, is Bastion Falls . Although smaller and not as dramatic as Kaaterskill Falls, Bastion Falls, 30 feet high, is quite striking and beautiful. Be sure to spend some time enjoying this smaller fall.

Warning
It appears that people have had serious accidents climbing to the top of the falls. Do not be tempted to climb to the top of the falls as missteps on the slippery rocks have resulted in serious accidents and even fatalities.
