Liberty Bell Pool Trail is an easy out-and-back hike in F. D. Roosevelt State Park in Georgia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is about 1.77 miles long, and the round trip covers roughly 3.5 miles with a total elevation gain of 877 feet. The high point is about 1,197 feet, and the low point is about 915 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.58 miles in, with a grade of 16 percent. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grange show October highs around 76°F with lows near 52°F, and April is similar at about 76°F by day and 49°F at night. That station sits about 467 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The hike takes about 1.5 hours. Pine Moutain Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Sawtooth Trail is about half a mile off. Mountain Creek Nature Trail and Delano Trail are both about 1.4 miles away.
