Catskill hiking

It seems like the spring has already passed so quickly ....it was almost like summer today.
We went hiking to the Catskill State Park which is located in the north part of NY state, regardless we were not familiar with outdoor so much.
We just drove as the GPS indicated and it took about 2.5hours from our house to the Catskill mountain.
I can hardly believe here is also in the NY state same State with Manhattan.It's totally different world.
It was literally an ad hoc hiking so we had no idea where to go in the Catskill state Park.
The only information we had about catskill was a very rough map.We thought we could get a map at the entrance of the park since Catskill is a State park.However,the park was so huge that we couldn't find any entrance ....Maybe there was nothing like an entrance.

Somehow we asked a policeman how to get to Hunter mountain inside the park and got a map at the Hunter skiing ground. Finally we got out of the car at Kaaterskill Falls.There was a trail toward the North South Lake.
We walked along a hiking trail with seeing a beautiful stream.Although the trail was too steep for my daughter ,she seemed like it.After 15minutes walking,we reached a beautiful water falls.We saw some people soaking their foot into the water.

It might be because of a negative ion from the falls,I felt very relaxed.
Look at this beautiful water falls !!
We are planning to visit here again for a camp in summer.
