Nestled in the beautiful Cascade Mountains near the historic town of Liberty, BLM's Liberty Recreation Site offers visitors an opportunity to camp near sparkling Williams Creek. Liberty is popular with visitors using the nearby U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands and motorized trail system. Summer weekends are busy, with visitors filling most of the 15 campsites. Snow closes the gravel roads accessing the site, but the USFS trails near the area are popular for snowmobiles.
