Pixley Falls State Park is a 375-acre (1.52 km2) New York state park in the town of Boonville in Oneida County, New York, United States. It is on New York State Route 46, 18 miles (29 km) north of Rome and six miles (9.7 km) southwest of Boonville, near the community of Hurlbutville.

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]
