Col. Richard Lieber was considered one of the nation’s leading authorities on State Parks.  He had gained such a position in the world of parks that many would reject the opinions of professionals if they differed from his.  When he first visited Highlands Hammock, he made the statement that this was one of the three finest natural State Parks in the United States and an outstanding example of conservation. He was the President of the National Conference on State Parks and accomplished outstanding work in the state of Indiana.  He stated that Highlands Hammock is a fine example of leaving nature alone, which he stated was the recipe for success in a state park.  The Richard Lieber trail is named in his honor.
