Located in [[Persimmon Ridge Park]].  A ridgeline hike through second generation hardwoods with gap view at powerline down at Wetlands water park.

<!-- Please enter detailed instruction on how to find the trail head. -->
Driving direction on main park page.  Parking for the main trailhead is located at the ballfields. Follow the gravel roadway along Field #1 until it takes a sharp left turn. This is the access road to the water tower.  John's trail is on right at a post which used to have a sign.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
Hard dirt trail.  Missing signage at actual trail - would be great at gravel road. Someone has removed several blowdowns, but trail had to be slightly rerouted a four trunk pile.  Also a weed trimmer might have been used to clear ground weeds. Lots of trimming needed today at shoulder level to have a readily passable path.

== Regulations ==
NO BIKES!

== Misc. Information ==
<!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Any seasonal features, factoids, etc...? -->
The trail is named after John Tomko, who led its construction for his Eagle Scout project.  Might have been part of Boy Scout Troop 39 (to be confirmed).

== Maps ==
