Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park

The 73-acre Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park includes a picnic area, restrooms, fishing access to the Cuyahoga River and access to the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. This statewide trail circles from the Ohio River (near Cincinnati) to Lake Erie (near Mentor), west to Toledo and then back to the Ohio River. Here in Summit County, the trail passes through Deep Lock Quarry, O'Neil Woods, Sand Run and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. "Follow the blue blazes" for the Buckeye Trail. Discarded mill stones are scattered along the moderate Quarry Trail, which takes visitors through the woods to an old quarry. You can also link to the Towpath Trail and take a short spur to the park's namesake, the deepest lock on the Ohio & Erie Canal.
