Confirmed from Sawyer Quarry Nature Preserve'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.
Quarry hiking area with a nature trail, plus climbing and rappelling routes.
What runners say about Sawyer Quarry Nature Preserve
“Mostly shaded by trees , so great for a hike on a hot day, and with fall setting in, the trees are beautiful fall shades!”
This place is a magical kept secret. I swear not a lot of people know about it. I walk my dog here almost every other night and the patrol guys even check on you often. It’s a peaceful place with awesome trails and really gives you a chance to explore nature. My kids and I love going and so does my dog!
Such a hole in the wall type hike. You'd never know such a beautiful spot was right here unless you found it online or heard about it. Decided to take all the trails today and had a blast! Great views, the quarry is amazing and almost feels like another world. Definitely coming back sometime to adventure here again!
Lovely scenery and great natural trails! Mostly shaded by trees , so great for a hike on a hot day, and with fall setting in, the trees are beautiful fall shades! Even has an area you can repel down into the quarry. You have to bring your own equipment and sign a waiver ( you just put into the dropbox).
There are 3 very different paths here. I didn’t see much wild life but there were trails in the woods, in the flowers and over rocks. The sign isn’t kidding there are some steep drop offs so don’t ignore them. Bathrooms were clean and other hikers were incredibly friendly.
