Pixley Falls State Park's main attraction is
the 50 foot waterfall located close to the picnic area. This picturesque park also
features steep, wooded hills and a scenic mountain stream. A 0.7 mile nature trail meanders
through the forest and past Pixley Falls (see video below). This park
is normally open from May to October. It is a day use park that has
picnic areas.
A cross-country ski trail runs along the
Black River Canal, which is just inside the park entrance. This ski
trail is also the North Country National Scenic Trail. This park no
longer offers camping.
