Quarry Rim Loop
Distance
7.8 mi
Elevation gain
1,050 ft
Duration
3.5–5 hrs
Difficulty
Moderate
Circles the abandoned granite quarry, descending to the flooded pit-lake before climbing back to the rim. Industrial ruins give the landscape an unusual character — rusted equipment, cut-granite walls, and a lake the color of glacial milk sit alongside recovering forest.
Highlights
- Flooded quarry pit-lake at mile 3.4
- Granite cut walls from 1890s operations
- East rim viewpoint at mile 6.1
Trail tips
- Do not enter the water — deep, cold, and steep-walled.
- Some unmarked side trails; follow the blue blazes.
- Best light on the quarry walls in late afternoon.
