Pixley Falls – Pixley Falls State Park, NY

The trail eventually reached a small creek tumbling down the hillside and followed that creek downhill to where it joined with the larger river.

To reach the Falls from this point is pretty easy since the valley floor is pretty flat and the river bank is not rocky. It’s not long before the Falls is visible through the trees. When the foliage is out in summer months, you would hear the Falls long before seeing it, but in the early Spring, with no foliage on the trees, the Falls is easy to see from a distance.

Unlike much larger falls, the base of Pixley Falls is very accessible and it is easy to get into a position to see in behind the falls.

No competition to Niagara Falls but a pleasant falls to visit nonetheless.

The State Park officials have decided to close the camping facilities at Pixley Falls State Park but the picnic tables and shelter are still available for use. With rain, once again, forcing me to flee for shelter, I was happy to get back to the comfort of my car to drive off to my next destination.
