Over 200 years ago, early adventurers like Daniel Boone walked these same hills and valleys we see today. Walking in their footsteps makes their journey come alive as you hike into the tunnel. View the tunnel from the inside out. This strenuous walk will include crossing boulders and rocks, just like the early adventurers. Once inside the tunnel you will learn how the tunnel was formed and is still currently changing. Lights and walking sticks will be provided.

This program is open to anyone age 8 and up.

You will cross the creek multiple times; at times it is knee deep. Wear clothing you do not mind getting wet.

For your comfort and safety appropriate footwear is required; backless shoes, flip-flops, crocs, or sandals (including Chacos) are NOT allowed.

Pre-registration is required. To reserve your spot for a program, contact the park office at 276-940-2674. The cost is $5 per person. No pets.
