"Kaatskill" is the original spelling of "Catskill" as used by the 17th Century Dutch settlers.

Kaaterskill Falls is a two-drop waterfall located near in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County's Town of Hunter.
