The Plattekill Clove features a narrow and steep valley containing numerous waterfalls in the northern Catskill Mountains of New York.
Like the Kaaterskill Clove, the Plattekill Clove was the subject of the Hudson River School art movement, a mid-19th century American art movement embodied by a group of landscape painters whose aesthetic vision was influenced by Romanticism, and whose paintings typically depicted scenes from the Catskills, Adirondacks, and the namesake Hudson River valley.
In 1975, 200 acres of the Plattekill Clove, including Plattekill Falls, was donated to the Catskill Center by the Griswald Family for its permanent protection.
