Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park

"Nice place to hike even on a dreary winter day."

"A worthwhile stop right off Riverview road for a short, moderately challenging hike and some history. It's really cool to think about how much sandstone was mined out of the quarry and hauled up the locks. Make sure you bring your boots and take a nice, shaded walk."

"By far one of my favorite parks in Summit county. It can be crowded at times, due to it being so beautiful and educational. My recommendation would be to hike at an earlier time mid-week, if you prefer less people around."

"Nice 1.4 mile trail, they offer an unpaved trail to the quarry, and they do a have paved trail that does connect to the towpath and bike trail. It's not a difficult trekking path, although it does have a couple of good 25 grades inclines. Definitely wear a good pair of hikers or trek sandals and grab your poles. They do offer wheelchair accessible parking and paved trail. They also offer out house facilities. Nice legend at the beginning of trail, and along the way, they have markers for information about the quarry. They offer picnic tables, and along the trek, they offer benches for a peaceful relaxation period. If you bring your doggo, be mindful and pick up after them and keep them leashed."

"Parking is ample, there is a restroom. The trails are marked to the quarry, trek through great shade most of the time. The paths are rocky and coated with moss so be careful with footing. Overall very nice side shoot from the towpath lock 69."
