One of the tallest waterfalls in NY. This is a moderately .5 mile hike to get to the falls, with some steep steps along the way, but it is soo worth it.

There are several ways to get here. The Becker Hollow trail is 4.7 miles and is considered "moderate" though for most it is difficult, but the views from Hunter Mountain Fire tower are unmatched offering 360 views of the Catskills.
There is an easier hike of 3.4 miles via Spruceton Trail.
