You'll find a small parking area on the left or south side of Route 23A about 3.5 miles west of Palenville. The photo above is actually of Bastion Falls, a much smaller waterfall that is visible on the north side of Route 23A at a bend in the road just a short distance before the parking area as you travel west. Once you have parked (and be forewarned that the parking lot is often full, necessitating parking along the road), walk downhill back toward Bastion Falls, where you will find the trailhead for Kaaterskill Falls.
It's just a five-minute walk from the parking area, but Route 23A is narrow and windy here, so be alert as you begin your waterfall journey.
