Pillsbury State Park

Pillsbury State Park is a natural area in Sullivan County featuring multiple ponds and wetland habitats within densely forested terrain. The landscape supports wildlife populations including moose and migratory birds.

The area was settled and logged in the 1700s and 1800s when it was known as Cherry Valley. This early period of human use left physical traces that remain visible today.

The park forms part of a major hiking network that connects two prominent mountains in the region. Visitors use this trail system to explore protected natural areas across multiple communities.

The park provides overnight accommodations and water access for canoe activities. Check current conditions and operating hours before planning your visit.

Throughout the park are depressions in the ground marking the sites of old homes from early settlers. These remains give visitors a direct connection to how people once lived here.
