Asylum Ramble – John Brown Lookout Park [Asylum Ramble, September 2009]

Asylum Ramble - John Brown Lookout Park

This is “John Brown Lookout Park”, located at about 319th & Lookout Road. This tall hill (with a steep climb!) provides a great view over a large area. There’s not really a park here, just the hill…

According to lore, this is where John Brown directed the escape of slaves by his Underground Railroad.

I enjoy riding bicycles all over -- city streets, suburbia, rural roads, gravel roads, dirt roads, rail-trails, and singletrack. I love exploring the countryside and finding the interesting and historical treasures hidden in plain site.
