Leashed dogs are permitted for skijoring on cross-country ski trails, provided that the snow surface is firm enough to prevent damage from their tracks.

Foraging is prohibited within the park. However, the Friends of Quarry Hill Nature Center are granted special permission to forage for educational purposes during programs conducted by staff naturalists.

Exploring fossils at Quarry Hill Park is a beloved pastime for the Rochester community.

• Avoid removing large sections of limestone.
• Ensure that all personal belongings, including food and trash, are taken out of the park.
