Is Woodstock the Next Niagara? Appeal of Flowing Water Attracts Valentine's Visits to the Catskills

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 22, 2010 ) Woodstock, NY – While Niagara Falls in New York State has long been a haven for star-crossed lovers, the waterfalls of the Catskill Mountains have emerged as equally intoxicating for those looking to celebrate Valentine's Day or other special occasions.

This time of year, with Valentine's Day nearing, regions with waterfalls increase in popularity with couples looking for romantic getaways. The area of the Catskills surrounding Woodstock, the famed hippie enclave, offers dozens of falls with a more intimate and private waterfall experience than Niagara, with its heart-shaped beds, boat trips and casinos. Bob Malkin, owner of the Waterfall House in nearby Palenville (www.waterfallrental.com), knows first hand the appeal of the area's majestic falls.

“When I first came to this house, which sits right on Niobe Falls, I didn't go inside,” said Malkin. “I went straight for the falls. The sounds and sight of the waterfalls was enough for me. I was hooked. Now we make the house available for those wishing for that same experience.”

The most well-known falls of the region is Kaaterskill Falls, a two-drop waterfall of 260 feet, making it one of the highest falls in New York State. The falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, with it appearing in some of the most prominent books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Kaaterskill Falls is located just 15 minutes from Woodstock.

“Kaaterskill is the most popular waterfall in the area, especially for couples that want a quick journey to a spectacular sight,” says Malkin. “Our guests get to enjoy that same water again as it flows over our waterfall down stream.”

Near Kaaterskill Falls is Bastion Falls, a smaller but enchanting waterfall that drops a total of 80 feet. Easily accessible from State Route 23a in Palenville, Bastion Falls attracts a great number of drive-by falls enthusiasts. Smaller falls dot the wooded landscape of Catskill Park with may accessible year round, including several off the Giant Ledge Trail near Phoenicia and the Huckleberry Trail near Saugerties.

“Poets for generations have tried to describe the allure of a waterfall,” said Malkin. “But nothing compares to simply standing along side it and taking it all in. The romance of it attracts visitors to our falls from across the world.”

Malkin is offering a “Waterfalling in Love” package for a Valentine's Day weekend getaway at The Waterfall House vacation rental property, giving guests a complimentary bottle of champagne, hand-made chocolates from Lucky Chocolates of Woodstock and $100 off a two night stay. The house can host up to three couples. For reservations, call (845) 246-6666 or e-mail waterfallrental@gmail.com.
