Catskills Adventure Challenge: Diamond Notch Falls
The Catskills Center has put together a series of hikes as part of the Catskills Adventure Challenge. The Challenge consists of a series of hikes designed to introduce hikers to the region. Adventure Untamed is taking on the challenge! If you complete six of the eight hikes that are part of the Catskills Adventure Challenge, you can earn a patch from the Catskills Adventure Center. Adventure Untamed is planning to do all eight hikes in 2026. Next up – Diamond Notch Falls! This hike traverses the length of Diamond Notch. Along the way, we get a glimpse of the infamous Devil’s Path, see a beautiful waterfall (you can even deep your feet in the creek if you like!), and pass the Diamond Notch Lean-To.
AND, you can choose your own adventure! If you would like an ACTIVE hike, you can opt to do 3 miles and 600 feet of elevation gain. OR complete the out-and-back trail for an INTERMEDIATE 6-mile, 1,500 feet elevation gain hike. We will have guides standing by for either option!
