The Kaaterskill Now Known by Many as the Pnlennille Stream Since we could print but one view of the Kaaterskill, we chose Fawn's Leap. At the time this photo was taken, the stream was at its lowest. Still there remains a deep trout pool at this point from which many a fine rainbow has been taken. Fawn's Leap is located about one quarter mile above the village of Palenville, just below Wild Cat Ravine. Tradition has it that here a mother deer leaped across the chasm above the pool while pursued by dogs. Her fawn, however, did not succeed in making the jump and fell to his death. The Kaaterskill Clove is one of the two most pronounced clefts in the wall of Manitou, venerated Fawn One day one Spring a fawn was born Within a shady Catskill glade. He was the mother doe's first son And joy within her heart was made. For six long weeks he trailed her steps ' And life to each was life together. In simple faith they lived each day With not one thought of parting ever. ' s 203 by the local Algonquin Indian.s. The road from Palen- ville to the top of the mountain is about three miles in length. The rise is 1600 feet. The water in the Kaaterskill accordingly makes a rapid and precipitous descent. Of course we must not fail to remind you that the Kaaterskill Clove is the one Washington Irving made famous some one hunderd twenty-five years ago with his immortal tale of Rip Van Winkle. If Rip ever did walk this earth, it was up the Kaaterskill he went in his memorable climb. He, perforce, had to pass Fawn's Leap as he and his dog labored up the gorge to Rip's Rest. Leap But living things cannot know life In full until of death they know E'en though in blissful ignorance S Each one through life would rather go. She came to know of life in full When he in following sought to leap Across a chasm and fell down Into the gorge, a shattered heap.
