Sure, bring some food and you can technically have a picnic anywhere you hike. But these six spots offer superb vistas and a nice trek for your al fresco supper. Pack the picnic backpack and hit the trail.

As the weather warms and more COVID-19 restrictions are relaxed, tourism officials are preparing for the summer. In Greene County, officials are reminding potential visitors of parking and trail regulations meant to prevent overcrowding at a popular waterfall.
Bagshaw: So Kaaterskill Falls is popular in many ways. One is its beauty, not only of the hike and the viewing platform, but also in its height, as it s a two-tier cascading waterfall, which is the highest in New York State. And therefore the majestic of that in itself is absolutely gorgeous. So that s what makes it so unique. And one of the other pieces people enjoy is that Thomas Cole, the founder of Hudson River School of Art, has many paintings of the various hikes around in and around the Kaaterskill Falls.
