REGISTER HERE REGISTER HERE Date: Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Location: Scutt Road Trailhead Parking Difficulty: Easy Distance: Up to 3.3 miles Each year, thousands of volunteers come together across more than 100 parks to give back to the places they love. As one of the most visited destinations in the Catskills, Kaaterskill Falls sees a high volume of use, and your help makes a real difference in keeping it clean, safe, and enjoyable for all. Meeting at the Scutt Road Trailhead at 9:00 AM, we’ll explore the upper trails of Kaaterskill Falls, including the Viewing Platform and portions of the Kaaterskill Rail Trail. Along the way, we’ll work together to remove litter while learning about Leave No Trace principles and the rich history of this beloved Catskills destination. Participants should come prepared with water, snacks, sturdy hiking shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothing, including rain gear. All ages are welcome, but participants under 18 must attend with a guardian. For questions, please contact Sammi Delaney at sdelaney@catskillcenter.org.
