Natural Tunnel State Park in Virginia takes its name from the
100-foot high, 850-foot long stone tunnel formed by the erosive
action of centuries of water flow. Visitors can reach the tunnel’s
mouth either by a chairlift or a scenic hiking trail. Visitor
are not permitted to enter the tunnel, as both a stream and railroad
run through it, but it remains one of the more fascinating natural
wonders in all of the Virginia State Parks system.
There are many Virginia hiking trails to enjoy in Natural Tunnel
State Park. Other popular activities include picnicking, swimming
in the swimming pool and enjoying the campgrounds, which offers
23 beautiful Virginia campsites and 18 R.V. sites with full electrical
and water hookups. The Visitor Center was opened in 1985, and
houses a gift shop and an information/education center that focuses
on local geology and the history of the railroad.
