Confirmed from Quarry Canyon Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“The view was beautiful and I still have a lot more to explore!”

Newly opened hiking trail in the Warbler Vista area off 1431 in Lago Vista. It has its own parking lot at the trailhead. Great hiking with hill country views and the trail is well marked.

★★★★★ — Gary , Jan 2021

Was pleasantly surprised by these trails!! The view was beautiful and I still have a lot more to explore!

★★★★★ — Kerri , Dec 2021

A great hidden gem of the balcones canyonlands. Medium to slightly difficult primitive trail.

★★★★★ — Derrik , Sep 2021

Wonderful trails, variegated landscape, lots of eye candy! Stunning views from start to finish. Can't wait to explore the rest!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
