Walnut Mountain Park — Attraction in Town of Liberty

It was a very nice trail with options suitable for all ages. It had a nice bathroom and large picnic table area. I would have liked a better playground because I went with children who needed some variety after a tame nature hike. The playground was OK but only OK.

Biggest gripe that made me take off another star is that the maps and trails were hard to decipher. I could have sworn I was following correctly and yet the trail markers didn't seem to match up with the map. We ended up getting exhausted because an apparent wrong turn made it take way longer than it should have to get out.
