Confirmed from Quarry 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.

Peaceful park featuring picnic tables, hiking trails and fishing at the lakes.

Quarry Park is a park that I have been wanting to go to for awhile now. I'm glad that I went. The trails, cliffs and lakes were well maintained and very scenic. There is also a couple of shelter houses.

★★★★★ — Rjd , May 2023

Quarry Park is a nice place to get out of the city for a little while, walk some of the trails. Not sure how the fishing is, but never seen anybody leaving with any when I've visited.

Quarry Park was worth the wait! 🏞️ The trails, cliffs, and lakes are beautifully maintained and absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect escape from the city, with peaceful paths to wander and soak in the scenery. 🌲 The shelter houses are a nice touch for a picnic or break.

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.
