Facilities

Open all year, the park gets its name from a 50-foot (15 m) waterfall called Pixley Falls, accessible via a short hiking trail. The park offers picnicking, a nature trail, hiking, fishing, seasonal hunting, and cross country skiing. The park has steep wooded hills, a mountain trout stream, and a trail that runs along the ruins of the 19th-century Black River Canal.[1]

Camping, once permitted at the park, has not been allowed since the park became day-use only in 2010.[4]
