Just up the road from the Catskills' Blue Hole is a calming waterfall that feeds into the stream that becomes the Blue Hole.

The Blue Hole and the surrounding area was once a place of peace and reflection. It was a secretive location, one loved by locals, but during the course of this past summer it has been taken over by tourists. Now, you may wonder why this has a negative connotation and let me explain.

This is state park, the glorious Catskill Mountains with all its splendor, but it's a little less wonderful when tourists visit the location in droves, double parking on the already tight roadway, leave their trash in the water and shoreline, and are disrespectful to the land and those who live nearby.

I hope this location will return to the quiet sanctuary it always was for me when I was a teen. I hope others can return to this place and see the beauty of it for what it really is, rather than a collection of trash and rude people.

"It was very cool, just some slight inconveniences. -Only had one roll of toilet paper with no spares for 8 people. -Hottub was not completely filled so if we wanted to use it, we would need to find a bucket to or hose to fill it and wait for it to heat up. -A few cabinets in the kitchen would hit against each other or on the ceiling making them a bit annoying to useOther than that it was a pretty cool spot and owners were responsive when i texted them because i couldnt the email they sent me...
