Broken Arm at Kaaterskill Falls

Unread post by dave »

Town of Hunter in Greene County

Wilderness Rescue:
On May 31 at 3 p.m., Forest Ranger Dawson responded to Kaaterskill Falls for a report of a hiker with an arm injury. The 58-year-old from Brazil and her daughter hiked down the stone staircase and over the rocks to wade in the water. While returning to the trail, the subject fell on the streambed rocks. Ranger Dawson and Windham Ambulance found the pair at the lower falls, splinted the subject's arm, and assisted them out to the trailhead. Hunter ambulance and Greene County medics transported the patient to the hospital. Resources were clear at 7 p.m.
