Pixley Falls is promoted as the main attraction in the Pixley
Falls State Park. Located just south of
Boonville, at 11430 State Route 46, it is quite easy to find. The park is open all
year and features a nature trail that weaves through the woods and past the falls.
As you enter the park and cross the bridge, the road will bend
to the right. Just past this, bear left at the "Y"
and continue to the upper area. You will see a trail on your
right which will take you to the base of the falls.
This is a nice little park which is now a day-use only
area. Camping is no longer allowed there but it is available
for picnic use. The 50' Pixley Falls is a nice one and you
can get so close to the bottom of it that you will feel the mist
it creates. At the base of the falls, there is a small,
unnamed feeder stream entering. Just upstream from here,
there is at least one other small waterfall.
Lansing Kill flows into the Mohawk River. This empties
into the Hudson River which flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
