Verkeerder Kill Falls is the highest waterfall in Sam's Point Preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains in the town of Shawangunk, Ulster County, New York. It is 187 feet (57 m) tall and is accessible only via a three-mile-long (4.8 km) trail, part of the Long Path, which branches off from the main trail in Sam's Point Preserve. The waterfall is named after the stream. The waterfall may only be viewed from the top near an edge of a rocky outcrop.
Verkeerder Kill Falls is known for its distinctive white plume during periods of high runoff. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the dwarf pitch pine barrens typical of the Shawangunk Ridge, offering expansive views toward the Catskills on clear days.[2]
