Deep Lock Quarry

I took a short trip down to this quarry in the woods in the Cuyahoga NP the other day.

The tall trees cover this section of the Erie Canal Tow Path Trail. I believe they used to tow boats up the canal, which runs along side the trail, with cattle by ropes from this trail.

Nice shady hiking trails.

There were all these random mill stones strewn throughout the woods here.

The large quarry they dug stones out of.

This is the deepest lock of nearly thirty which run along the path.

 

 

Now its quite the bullfrog habitat.
