Rock Quarry Park — photo spot in 2002 Grindstone Pkwy, Columbia, MO 65201, USA
Rock Quarry Park
Former limestone quarry turned park with a vivid blue-green lake, sheer rock faces, wooded trails and a boardwalk—great for dramatic cliff reflections, intimate forest scenes and seasonal color. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light on cliffs and calm reflections; weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds. Easy free parking off Grindstone Pkwy; trails are mostly moderate with some steep sections and stairs. No special entry fees; obey park rules and be mindful of cliff edges and no-swim
