"Coffee Trails" opens in Duncannon Borough, an Appalachian Trail Community

Coffee Trails, a “quaint and cozy coffee shop located off the Appalachian Trail,” recently opened up on Market St. in Duncannon Borough.  Stop in and check it out before or after your hike!

"Like the A.T., Coffee Trails strives to be a place for people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy a relaxed, family friendly environment.  Always remember, the Appalachian Trail is just a sip away!"

The historic river town of Duncannon, situated at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers and the Kittatinny Ridge "flyway," is treasured by the thousands of thru-hikers, section hikers, and river enthusiasts in Perry County, PA.  One of only a handful of small towns through which the Trail directly passes, Duncannon is well-known for its views from Hawk Rock as well as the locals' friendliness, hospitality and generosity of local residents.  Duncannon recently became Pennsylvania’s second designated Appalachian Trail Community due to the community's history of assisting/hosting hikers and local actions taken to promote and protect the A.T.  The Patriot News: Duncannon officials hope Appalachian Trail Community designation brings more people to historic town.


One of the goals of the A.T. Community program is to assist with sustainable economic development through tourism and outdoor recreation.  Visitors to the Appalachian Trail are often looking to grab some food and check out other area attractions before or after their hike.  Coffee Trails will be a great asset to Duncannon's main street in promoting the community as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts!
