What to expect

Quarry Lake is a former open-pit coal mine turned into a park, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The lake is perfect for swimming, although the water is glacier-cold. Visitors can also enjoy a picnic or walk around the 1 km long trail, which is suitable for families. The park features an off-leash dog park, picnic tables, grass lawns, and sitting benches. It's common to spot elk in the area, especially during morning or evening visits. The park is available for special events by reservation
