Facilities

Open all year, the park gets its name from Pixley Falls, a 50-foot (15 m) waterfall accessible via a short hiking trail. It offers picnicking, a nature trail, hiking, fishing, seasonal hunting, and cross country skiing. It 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 it became day-use only in 2010.^[3]
