Explore an old sandstone quarry at Deep Lock Quarry. Hike along the miles of challenging outdoor trails to get a view of Akron that you cannot see from anywhere else. Once you reach the top, you can look out across the forest, past the Cuyahoga River and down to the milled, swamp-like floor of the quarry.
