Confirmed from Quarry Head Park'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.
What runners say about Quarry Head Park
“There are marked trails that pass through woods, an old quarry, and beautiful meadows.”
Beautiful trail. The entrance looks like a private driveway but it's actually a beautiful and peaceful public trail.
There are marked trails that pass through woods, an old quarry, and beautiful meadows. You can see the Long Island Sound from the highest point (by the main parking lot) where there is also a picnic table and the foundations of the original house.
Great hike. NOBODY there. Trail markers and map could be better. There is a picnic table but had a lot of bee activities so I steered clear. Beautiful park.
