Quarry Ridge Park in Fitchburg
Quarry Ridge is a recreational area that
is adjacent to the Capital City Bike Trail & Military Ridge Bike Trail in
Fitchburg. The parking lot is at 2740 Fitchrona Road. It is about a
45 minute ride from the Arboretum. No trail pass is required at Quarry
Ridge. However, if you ride there the Capitol City Trail and Military
Ridge Trail do require trail passes. In addition, if you combine Quarry
Ridge with Badger Prairie County Park you will need a County trail pass for
Badger Prairie. Directions: By bike, ride west on
the Southwest Bicycle Path until it turns into the
Capitol City Trail. Stay on the Capitol City Trail until
it turns into the Military Ridge Trail. Keep your eyes
open for the exit from the path into the park. If
you reach Verona you've gone too far. By car, take
18/151, turn right on McKee Rd. Turn left on
Nesbitt and left on Fitchrona. Quarry Ridge is
right after you turn on Fitchrona.
