Join our Catskill Steward, Cris, for a dog-friendly hike to Kaaterskill Falls. Bring your dogs, bring your leashes, and bring water for your pup! Dogs with excellent recall can participate in optional off-leash time with swimming at the end of the hike.

 The hike is about 3.2 miles. Starting from Laurel House Road parking lot to the viewing point of the old Mountain House Hotel, walking around the lake, and eventually ending at an open field and access to swimming. With safety in numbers, dogs should be well behaved, and mild-tempered, as many individuals will be curious about our dog activity. We will also explore the plant life in the area, as well as the spectacular view, and more! We will review what to do with dog waste according to Leave No Trace principles. Meet your hike leader, Cris, at 10:00 am on Thursday, August 15 at the Laurel House parking lot at Kaaterskill Falls.
