About this spot
From the NYS Thruway, take the Saugerties exit and head left off the ramp. Go west on Route 212 until you reach a firehouse on your left. Turn right at the Y intersection, then right again at the firehouse in Centerville onto Blue Mountain Road. At the general store, turn left onto West Saugerties Road (if you pass a school on your right, you've gone too far). Continue as this road becomes Plaat Clove Road while ascending the mountain. There is a small pull-off on the right approximately one-eighth mile up the road where you can park. From there, cross over the embankment and descend a steep hillside until you reach a trail. The stream contains at least three substantial pools. Note that private property borders the trail on the left side, though the stream itself is accessible.
