Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park

This is one of my favorite weekday evening places to take my dogs. It's about 1.5 miles, mostly flat with a few hills, shaded, beautiful views of the towpath and river, especially in fall and winter, nice views of the old quarry. Rocky so wear your hiking boots.

Always some nice hiking. A few miles of trails, the lock and grand quarry, with the stone remnants of yesteryear peppering the way. Connects to the towpath, ample parking, a few picnic tables and beautiful Ohio woods. Although often shaded, this park remains moist and can be steamy on a hot muggy day. Bring the insect repellent because the dampness brings mosquitos during their season.

I didn't think I'd find this park as beautiful as I did. I definitely recommend a visit!

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.
