About
There is a picnic area. The Brownstone quarry that is listed as a historic national landmark is called Quarry View. There are natural springs that flow from the wall of water. There are dinosaur tracks and carved dates in the walls that date back to 1886. There is a trail that leads back in time to an area with 80 foot brownstone walls. There is a rear patio where a musician will enjoy the acoustics. The drum circles 6:30-9 on Tuesday and Friday. We are sitting 50 feet above the water on the ledges that overlook the park. The sites are based on two adults and two children.
