Never Tall

This place is a hidden gem! I was in town working and asked tons of people for tips on local attractions and not one mentioned this place. We hit it 2 days in a row and left happily exhausted. They didn’t allow dogs though so our puppy missed out.

Been on my bucket list for years, finally went hiking here with some friends. Beautiful place. Bug spray is a must!

Super place, mostly flat in the areas we encountered. Quarries are very dramatic & all the old equipment on the grounds are pretty fascinating. Definitely want to go back in the spring and summer! Beautiful park, accessible, just be prepared for the $5 parking fee.

Is the quarry open for swimming

Matthew Kirchgasler | Sep 18, 2020

Yeah, was just there earlier today. They have 50% parking capacity though, so unless you call, you could be asked to wait until a spot comes up.

It looks like the swimming quarries are so deep that people can even do cliff jumping. Is there any shallow water area good for 2 year old kid to play?

There is a beach/sand area, but where to sand and the water touch should be fine!😁

Has any one got hurt

I don't think there's life guards. Its watch your own kids. I'm sure you can get hurt if you're not careful.

Do we have to reserve a grill .? I’ve never been so I’m not quite sure how it works for a bbq

Syrena Rodriguez | Jul 16, 2019

Call and reserve just in case. There's no telling if someone else will have the same idea at the same time.
