Summary
The county formally objected to the state DEC's plan that could bring reservation systems, timed entry, or visitor caps to the Kaaterskill Clove area in Hunter. Local officials argue those limits would hurt tourism towns and just push crowds elsewhere; they want more parking, traffic management and staffing first.

Impact analysis
Restrictive access could cut visitor spending in tourism-reliant towns like Hunter; no direct county cost to adopt the objection.
Tourists, local tourism businesses, and Hunter-area residents who keep free public access to the falls.
Potentially the DEC's congestion-management goals if crowds are displaced to other, less-managed sites.
