You might also be able to park on the road, but there are spots marked no parking. Walk back down the hill, just past the falls, and there is a trail that goes along the falls. Walk about 1/2 mile and you are at the base of the falls.
This is supposed to be the highest falls in NY.

thanks! I'll have to make a trip up there from the city.
from one of the waterfall hunting sites I use to help me find them here in the US. (normally my hunting is done in Iceland where there are 1,000s of waterfalls)
Kaaterskill Falls

Kaaterskill Falls is frequently thought of as the tallest waterfall in New York, although T Lake Falls (300'), Inspiration Falls (350'), and Roaring Brook Falls (325') are taller. It's still a bona fide giant by east coast standards. When I first visited the falls in October of 2005, I was sufficiently blown away. I got lucky and got high water. This waterfall is a bona fide gem. Lake Creek leaps about 180' into a wide ampitheater then collects itself for the final 80' leap. My eye wants to say the lower falls are less than 80', but I've been wrong before.
