The quarries have been transformed into a very scenic place to go hiking, fishing or having a picnic. The I &M canal trails go on for miles for a quite peaceful getaway from the crowded city nearby.

If you love creation, this place stretches for miles, is rich in history, and is an ever changing piece of God's living artworks in real time.
Great place to walk our dogs and see some natural surroundings. Depending on what area you visit you will see different natural features. Usually very quiet especially in the off months.
