Liberty Gorge Cascade is located about 3/4 of the way around the loop at Flume Gorge. You cross the stream at the head of the falls, continue for a couple of hundred feet, and go down the short spur trail to the overlook. There isn't much to do, the terrain is too steep for exploration, just admire the view. Cascade Brook passes beneath the trail, accelerating down a granite bedrock slide that culminates in horsetail to the bottom of the gorge.
This waterfall is part of The Flume-Pool loop trail. Parking is at the Flume Visitor Center, a clearly marked exit off of Route 3 in Franconia Notch. The falls are 1.4 miles from the parking area, but that figure is reduced to 9/10 of a mile if you take the shuttle to Boulder Cabin near the mouth of the flume.
