Warriors Path State Park, State park in Liberty Township, Pennsylvania.
Warriors Path State Park covers 349 acres along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River in Pennsylvania, featuring hiking trails and direct access to the water. The terrain includes woodlands, open fields, and riverbank areas suitable for outdoor recreation.
The land was purchased from the Nimchishin family in 1959 and officially established as a state park in 1965. A bronze marker commemorates the Bussard family's donation to the park property.
The name originates from the Great Indian Warpath, a route used by Iroquois nations during their military campaigns against Cherokee tribes.
The park is accessible on foot through the main gate, with the best visiting conditions between November and mid-April when activities like hiking and cross-country skiing are available. Visitors should prepare for variable weather and bring appropriate footwear.
The Raystown Branch surrounds the property on three sides, creating multiple access points to the water. This allows fishing for smallmouth bass, carp, and muskie from various riverside locations.
