Fox Hill Trailhead
Fox Hill Trailhead in Pottstown, PA is a well-maintained hiking trail with beautiful scenery, especially during spring and fall. It is a dog-friendly trail good for kids and dogs. The trail is undergoing reforestation and has some limitations due to private property sections, causing partial trail closures and uneven maintenance. The trail can be muddy in some areas due to poor drainage.

Great place
Nice little cut through trail, but very muddy from poor drainage
Very well planned trail with amazing scenery, especially in the spring and fall seasons. However, a huge issue is that you can no longer walk the entire length of the trail anymore. An entire 700 foot section of the trail has been marked as private property with signs and is no longer maintained. Due to this, The Maugers Mill trailhead is rendered useless, with a private property sign being at the start of the trail. The only way you can walk the trail is by entering through the dangerous Hanover street trailhead (with no parking btw) and once you get to the middle “hub” where the paths for all three trailheads meet, you turn left to walk down to a housing development’s trailhead. You could also just turn around once you get to the hub. Very disappointing considering the trail’s potential is very high, but I hope the township can re-acquire the section with eminent domain.
Additionally, the trail is undergoing the current process of reforestation due to an approximate 80% of tree cover being affected by ash borers, so there’s some parts of the trail with the unpleasant view of chopped down trees.
Great hiking trail and well maintained. But… Entered the Fox Hill trail head from Hanover St. Unfortunately it doesn’t go all the way through to the Maugers Mill trail head. When you get to the bench the trail goes to a private driveway and you can’t find the trail that goes to the Mauger’s Mill end trail head. So we then drove to the Mauger Mill Fox Hill trail head only to find no trail entrance. There is a sign at what looks like there was a trail but is all grown over. I went up to the sign and barely touched it and it fell over. Please see photos.
