Confirmed from Liberty Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular lakeside green space featuring trails for hiking and biking, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Liberty Park
“Very quiet, clean, secluded loved it .”

This is a very lovely park. It offers a number of different species of birds from the common pigeon to the mourning dove to the red tail hawk, to the wren, Brown Sparrow, blue jay, red cardinal, and I even saw a parakeet which I thought was strange possibly that it got loose from somebody's house or maybe there may be…
The real draw here is the dam and its a DAM good reason to come here (pun intended). Its a fantastic walk around and across the dam. The structure and architecture is amazing and the view of the reservoir is really serene and beautiful.
Good park. There are multiple trails through the heights above the lake and you can find the old foundations and stone walls from centuries ago. The trails are not well marked so remember your route in so you don’t get lost. Beautiful, large healthy trees that have stood the tests of time are all over.
I really liked thus place a lot! It's got water, trails, and a place to have a picnic. Lots of places to take pretty pictures of the scenery, family and friends, or even yourself
