Heavily wooded and sprinkled with several ponds and wetland areas, Pillsbury is one of the more primitive and lesser known gems of the state park system. The park offers canoeing, warm-water fishing, picnicking, hiking and mountain biking. History buffs will enjoy exploring the park’s long abandoned and overgrown cellar holes, remnants of early farm settlement and lumbering in the late 1700s and early 1800s, when the area was called Cherry Valley.
