This is widely considered to be the first rail trail in all of the United States. The crushed stone pathway — now built specifically for bikes — covers almost 33 miles, passing through five small towns and three railroad tunnels as it goes. This is tunnel number two.

You will probably want a raincoat for cycling through this rail-to-trail tunnel! It was built beneath a natural spring, so there's a constant seep of water dripping down into the tunnel. Some cyclists also take a plastic bag to help protect their bike seat.

This is one of three old railroad tunnels from the 1870s that you will encounter along the Elroy-Sparta State Trail (the oldest rail trail in the country). The rough hewn walls, cool subterranean temperatures, and phenomenal scenery make this feel like a real adventure. You must walk your bike through the tunnel, which is closed every year from November 1 to April 30.

There are vault toilets and a well pump. The water from the well seems ok to drink.
