Confirmed from Rankin Trails at the Quarry'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.
Park featuring mountain-bike trails, stone quarries and areas for hiking and walking.
What runners say about Rankin Trails at the Quarry
“Beautiful scenery and very nice trails, some of them challenging.”
“Great place to walk with the different terrain changes, shaded trails and the many ponds for scenery.”
Great trails for walking & biking! First time visiting & was not disappointed. Lots of scenery, well maintained, & there is also a nice dog park too. Congrats to everyone who made this spot possible! Will definitely be making this a regular visit!
First time in this trail and I am impressed with the maintenance. Previous rain 4 days prior and only a few mildly sloppy areas. You will be well served by a pair of light hiking boots. Several benches and mostly new bridges along the way.
This is a great walking and bike trail here in Brandon. The entrance is next door to the Brandon Fire Station on Marquette Road. It’s to the left as you’re facing the fire station. The trail is primarily made of aggregate from milling of area asphalt streets, it’s has lots of trees, some scenery, and winding turns.
Some muddy spots after the rain but great place to walk and be outside. Dogs and bikes welcome.
