Nice change of pace hike. Parked at the PawPaw Tunnel Campgrounds and walked the trail to the tunnel. I hadnt realized how long the tunnel would be and at 3116 feet long it was pretty impressive. Walkway inside tunnel is very uneven and had puddles so make sure you have a flashlight of some sort and sturdy shoes on. Boardwalk on the other side was nice. Path past the boardwalk was muddy in spots but easy to go around the worst. Made it to the Sorrel Ridge Campsite before heading back. So some deer and lots of fall colors. Overall it was a nice quiet walk with only a few people, would definitely do it again

An amazing short hike that was fun and beautiful. Not the easiest to find. Was told there are several ways to get there. We hiked down a small hill with switchbacks. Definitely take a flashlight to walk trough the tunnel.

This is a unique spot with a trail with a great view of the Potomac. The tunnel itself is a short walking distance from the parking lot if you are not interested in the loop trail. I highly recommend bringing a flashlight. Cell phones are fine but not as bright as a flashlight and the walking path is uneven with holes and cracks in some areas. Watch your step! There is a short boardwalk path on the other side of the tunnel. There is also a campground by the parking lot.

We hiked down the hill from a parking lot to the bridge using Google maps as a guide, and saw what looked like much friendlier roads leading up to the tunnel, so I think there is likely easier ways to get there. It's a long tunnel with an uneven narrow walkway and no lights. I would not want to go through it by myself. Very cool looking piece of history. If your hiking I would be careful, it looks like it's all trees and smooth slope down to the water, but there are some sharp cliffs not to far off the pathways, be careful if you go off the path or you could fall and get hurt.

Two different areas to be aware of, theres the upper parking area on the mountain, and another parking access much closer to the tunnel below. Beautiful area, a few ignorant cyclists refusing to dismount crossing the bridge so I offered little room to pass without stopping. Yeah, im that guy ... dont care, get off your saddle here. Otherwise a most excellent area to check out .. repeat value is low, but if you haven't seen it yet, its worth the time. Enjoy!
