Map of VerKeerderkill falls area. Orange line = trail, Blue line = stream, green lines = unofficial footpaths, shaded blue area = 1-4 inch deep slow-moving water, shaded red area = vertical cliff area with no fence (dangerous to people). VerKeerderkill falls is a waterfall in Sam's Point Preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains in Ulster County, New York. It is 72 feet tall and has a 3-mile long trail going to it branching off from the main trail, which is in Sam's Point Preserve. The waterfall is named after the stream. The best places to view the waterfall are at the bottom or from the edge of a rocky outcrop. (However, the only way to get to the bottom is to bushwhack). The rocky outcrops are very dangerous because there are no fences and it is over 72 feet above the ground. (It is higher than the waterfall is tall).
