Description
This comes immediately below a beautiful cascading waterfall coming into the Kaaterskill on river right. The cautious will want to get out above this on the left and walk the quarter mile or so to Red Rock Falls using the shoulder of the road. Otherwise, portage on the right for a great series of rapids leading up to Red Rock or if you're feeling REALLY good, set safety, let the cameras roll, and fire up this impressive waterfall.
