The JFK Walking Trail is a hidden gem created to be part of the Pottsville Community flagship recreation complex. The paved trail is located behind the tennis courts and pool. A stylish sign complete with picket fence marks the entry way to the trail which is titled: The City of Pottsville Bike Path and Jogging Area."
It is well shaded in the summer time and used heavily by local residents. Dogs are welcome and the trail includes a unique amenity, a water fountain designed just for dogs. The trail also has very informative signs identifying trees along the path and their characteristics.
Parking is available at the southwest end of the trail off of Woodglen Road.
Nice easy hike on a paved trail. You can even feed the squirrels peanuts along the way. There is also a trail above the paved trail that goes thru the woods.
