Over 200 years ago, early adventurers like Daniel Boone walked these same hills and valleys we see today. National Trails Day is the perfect time to walk in their footsteps and make their journey come alive as you hike into the tunnel. Once inside the tunnel, you will have a chance to view the tunnel from the inside out and learn how the tunnel was formed and is still currently changing. This strenuous walk will include crossing boulders and rocks, just like the early adventurers, so be prepared. Wading attire, a flashlight and a wading staff are required. Headlamps and wading stick are provided. 

Pre-registration is required. To reserve your spot for a program, contact the park office at 276-940-2674. Cost is $5 per person. This program is open to anyone age 8 and up. For your comfort and safety appropriate footwear is required, no flip-flops, crocs, or sandals (including Chacos). No pets allowed.
