Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park

Mark Manly

If you are into hard rock gold mining history; you'll enjoy this interesting look into this particular part of the mining operations of the Kennedy Gold mine. The only surviving tailing wheel out of several that were constructed. You can walk or drive to the top of the hill for an overview of the very large tailing pond. The grounds include picnic tables, dog park for your pet. Public Restrooms are available. Update: I want to mention, across the street, if you follow the dirt trail it will lead you to the remaining ruins of the tailing wheels continue. You will also be able to view the mine shaft elevator tower, as well as the old mine house. Enjoy the brief hike.

Amazing! The wheels were well worth it. Unusual and great history display. Plus there are picnic sites, restrooms and a dog park. Walk across the street to see the Kennedy mine and a cool Eagle Scout project. Best place in Jackson by far.

Plenty of parking. Hanicapped accessable all throughout the park. It is beautifully restored. You cant help but feel this place. The folks that made these wheels, the dam. This was made with real human hands, sweat, ingenuity. No …
