Pixley Falls State Park, located on route 46 south of Boonville NY. also known as Boonville Gorge State Park, It has picnic areas and some hiking trails. Will be a good place to visit in the spring since there are feeder falls to the main creek.

Pixley was a fun surprise for me a few years ago. Sadly, it definitely was not in it's prime season for color...

the weather has been great for flow.... too late for me though.
Great shots. Seems like a nice park... what else does it offer?

That's good the park could use some fixing up. The trails need work and the picnic grounds could bew improved.
