About

At the Deep Lock Quarry Metro Park, there are at least two features worth hiking to. First, there’s Lock 28, which is also known as Deep Lock, because at 17 feet, or about 5 meters, it was the deepest lock on the Ohio and Erie Canal. Secondly, there’s an old Berea Sandstone quarry which was used to construct parts of the canal. Later, the Civilian Conservation Corps used this quarry to build some local structures. To reach Deep Lock, just follow the towpath trail from the parking lot for a quarter mile. Then, to reach the quarry, it’s just another quarter mile beyond that, making for a one-mile round-trip hike.
