Historic Places
The pioneers of the region were Tory "cow boys," who
located their shacks in the narrow valleys during the Revolution.
The area was confiscated by the Tories and, although driven out later,
there was little interest taken in this rugged mountainous area until
Col. William W. Edwards and his son came from Northampton,
Massachusetts, in July of 1817, and began the erection of the first of
the many tanneries of the Catskills.

Hunter, taken from Windham,
as Greenland, January 27, 1813, changed to the present title in 1814. A
part of Saugerties
was lost in 1814, and a part of Jewett
in 1849. The town contains some of the highest peaks
of the Catskills, and is probably the most popular among the thousands
who yearly visit its scenic wonders.
This was the founding of the village of Tannersville,
which is remembered by so many for the glory of its location and
hotels. Hunter is the other large village of this region, another
former tannery hamlet, but with the advent of a railroad and the
depletion of the hemlock, made its greatest growth as a tourist
section. Source: Hope

- Hunter Mountain isn't just the Catskills' premier
winter destination.... it's become one of the Catskill's best
four-season resorts. Close to the heart of all that made the Catskills
America's first vacation destination, Hunter is located in the
beautiful mountaintop region of the Northern Catskills
Kaaterskill Falls
Kaaterskill Falls
is a two-drop
waterfall located near
in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of
Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville
in Greene County's Town of Hunter.
 Public
ownership
In 1885 New York State established the Forest Peserve,
which
later became part of the New York State Constitution. The "forever
wild" requirement helped protect the area from logging and commercial
development, once the falls property came into state ownership during
the early 20th century. They are today part of the North Mountain Wild
Forest, a Forest Preserve Unit owned and managed by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
Safety issues
While the falls are on public land, they can only be
reached
via the Kaaterskill Falls Trail, a state-maintained yellow-blazed path
running 0.4 mile (650 m) uphill from NY 23A, the only road through the
clove. This has presented two safety issues.
First, the trail itself climbs rather steeply from the road, along the
sometimes steep and rocky slopes alongside the creek. Challenging
enough for experienced hikers, as the most-hiked trail in the Catskill
Park it is used heavily by casual visitors who may be ill-prepared for
the terrain between the road and the falls. The heavy traffic has
compounded the trail's problems through erosion.
Second, the trail is served by two parking lots along 23A, both of
which require a walk of at least 0.2 mile (400 m) to reach the
trailhead at Bastion Falls, just above 23A at a bend in the road. Due
to both the rugged surrounding terrain and the limitations placed on
Forest Preserve land by the state constitution, New York's Department
of Transportation (DOT) has been unable to expand the narrow shoulder
on either side of the road, requiring that visitors walk very close to
high-speed traffic, including trucks, some of which are in the middle
of descending a pronounced grade. The risk of serious accidents is very
high. Both DOT and DEC have indicated a willingness to sit down and
work out a solution that will accommodate their concerns, however this
has not happened as of 2006. Some hikers try to avoid this by parking
near the Laurel House site or at North-South Lake and following the
closed route of the former Escarpment Trail; this is equally risky as
it runs very near the edge of the falls. Source: Wikipedia
