Prior to that time Americans tended to regard the mountains and valleys of upstate New York as an unsafe region populated by savage natives. The famous painting, "The Murder of Jane McRea" <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.spartacus-educational.com/WWmcCrea.htm">[2]</a> by <a href="/wiki/Kingston,_New_York" title="Kingston, New York">Kingston, New York</a>, native <a href="/wiki/John_Vanderlyn" title="John Vanderlyn">John Vanderlyn</a>, best illustrates this local attitude. It wasn't until after the <a href="/wiki/War_of_1812" title="War of 1812">War of 1812</a> when the frontier shifted far to the west, that attitudes changed and people began to regard the lofty heights around the Hudson River valley as something scenic rather than ominous or fearsome. About the same time the profitability of local farming began to decrease due to cheap grain shipped east by an Erie Canal, usable in stages while under construction. Irving's story invited Cole and others to discover the valley when Irving introduced the Falls of the Kaaterskill in "<a href="/wiki/Rip_Van_Winkle" title="Rip Van Winkle">Rip Van Winkle</a>". Irving wrote the following passage about Rip reawakening after a slumber of 20 years and walking home: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>At length he reached to where the ravine had opened through the cliffs to the amphitheatre; but no traces of such an opening remained.

This presented two safety problems. First, the trail itself climbs rather steeply from the road, along the sometimes steep and rocky slopes alongside the creek. 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, <a href="/wiki/New_York_State_Department_of_Transportation" title="New York State Department of Transportation">New York's Department of Transportation</a> (DOT) has been unable to expand the narrow <a href="/wiki/Shoulder_(road)" title="Shoulder (road)">shoulder</a> on either side of the road, requiring that visitors walk very close to high-speed traffic, including <a href="/wiki/Truck" title="Truck">trucks</a>, some of which are in the middle of descending a pronounced grade. </p><p>These concerns were alleviated by completion in 2016 of trail improvements to allow access from the Laurel House trailhead. These include a wheelchair accessible gravel path to an overlook platform, a 115-foot hiking bridge over Spruce Creek, and a new foot trail with stone staircase down to the middle pool, creating a link between the top and bottom of the falls.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Access to the falls was closed during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize potential transmission of the virus.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When it reopened later that spring, the area experienced a significant increase in tourism, resulting in parking issues on Route 23A and littering in and around the Falls.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Addressing the issue was made complicated by the fact that Route 23A is maintained by the NYS Department of Transportation and the land is owned by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

However, the former treadway is still usable, and many visitors continue past the brush pile to get closer to the falls. Some venture into the natural amphitheater behind the falls, and it is here and from the ledge above the falls that more than one hiker has fallen to death. The height of the upper interior rim of the upper falls amphitheater is deceptively high and the footing is tenuous. During 2004 a <a href="/wiki/Putnam_County,_New_York" title="Putnam County, New York">Putnam County</a> woman sued the state over injuries sustained by her fall into the pool from the top of the falls, arguing the state had a responsibility to put a barrier there. Four years later a state <a href="/wiki/New_York_Court_of_Claims" title="New York Court of Claims">Court of Claims</a> judge ruled against her, saying the danger "was open and obvious to anyone employing the reasonable use of her senses".<sup id="cite_ref-Fall_lawsuit_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fall_lawsuit-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The trail's junction with the current Escarpment Trail route just past the Laurel House site is also readily apparent due to the rock pile used to block it and the wood pole that once held mileage signs. It, too, is still used unofficially to reach the waterfalls. </p><p>Deaths at the falls nevertheless continued. Two in 2014 prompted the state to restrict access to the falls the next summer in order to build a new trail, stone steps, and fencing. A special rescue team was formed with the falls' terrain in mind. However, two people died in falls during 2016.<sup id="cite_ref-November_2014_death_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-November_2014_death-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visibility">Visibility</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kaaterskill_Falls&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Visibility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>For those not able to get too close to it, the waterfalls can be seen in their entirety in the distance from the northern approach to the summit of <a href="/wiki/Kaaterskill_High_Peak" title="Kaaterskill High Peak">Kaaterskill High Peak</a>, across the clove, and sometimes even from the <a href="/wiki/Hunter_Mountain_Fire_Tower" title="Hunter Mountain Fire Tower">fire tower</a> on <a href="/wiki/Hunter_Mountain_(New_York)" title="Hunter Mountain (New York)">Hunter Mountain</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kaaterskill_Falls&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-Titus-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Titus_1-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Titus, Robert;
