Quarry Hill Park

Convenient location, accessible from at least 2 parking lots. Trails wind through the park. The quarry is a scenic spot where limestone layers, along with trees and wetland make a nice background for photos. Someone we ran into on our way in warned us about snakes in the grass. Fortunately, we didn't see any, but we did see a deer on the way out.

Great park. If you are going to visit one Park in Rochester, this is the one to visit. Mellow to more challenging trails, pave trails, dirt trails, and cool views of old Quarry Hill Stone buildings and cement remnants. There’s a small pond, restrooms, and things for everybody, including a nature center.

Quarry Park Hill was a great little stop. The visitor center had snakes, fish, and turtles, which made it feel like a mini nature museum before even hitting the trail. The walk itself was nice, though the trail was definitely on the muddy side. And apparently the corgi convention was in town. Saw a bunch of them out there living their best lives. With those short legs and low bellies, the mud situation quickly turned into full belly-drag mode, but the dogs couldn’t have been happier. Muddy trails, happy dogs, and a solid nature walk. Hard to complain about that. 🐕🌲

Great area to see nature and learn about local wildlife and environment. Great for children and families. Great for a walk around as well. Plenty of parking and walking paths are decently maintained. I think the off road trail up and around quarry hill needs improvement though. Many of the signage fell off, so visitors may not know the meaning behind certain locations. Trail maps available, helpful staff and a local gem. Check it out!

Lived in the area for 8 years never really explored this nature park, thought there wasn't much to it, boy was I wrong. I felt completely peaceful in the woods. Tons of trails, and a pretty river and bridges, wonderful hiking, feels like you are up north lost in the wilderness and not minutes away from downtown Rochester. Loved my day here. Highly recommend!!

Just hiked here and the paths off the trail are gorgeous!! There's a cave too you can go to during tour times, but even just the rusty gate closing off the cave is pretty cool to take a pic by. There are hours of paths and it took us an hour just to get through the shortest! Highly recommend for all nature lovers and even bird watchers!

This park is huge, and beautiful! There is a ton of history packed in these hills. There’s a ton of paved accessible paths, a fishing pond, playgrounds. There is so much ground to be covered, and so many paths to walk. You could easily spend multiple days here exploring.

I think this is the best place to visit in Rochester. There are a lot of great trails here and a nature center for the kids. It looks like they also have a cave here and provide tours for the cave twice a month on Sundays. The view of the pond that they have near the visitor center is beautiful and it looks like people were fishing from the pond. They let you keep sunfish and crappies but you have to return everything else you catch. I would love to come visit here again in the near future!
