Liberty Landing

Township Road 89, west of County Road 140, Findlay

Liberty Landing marks the beginning of a popular 9.3-mile float trip on the Blanchard River Water Trail. The trip from Liberty Landing to Blanchard Landing is scenic with frequent bends, narrow sections, and exciting riffles with no known hazards. Wildlife sightings are common.

Without stops and with strong and steady paddling, the trip takes approximately 3 hours.
