The Paw Paw Tunnel is an engineering marvel along the C&O Canal, built to avoid constructing six miles of canal along the river. Work began in 1836, but labor disputes, funding issues, and the challenges of tunneling through shale delayed completion for 14 years. Finally opening in 1850, the 3,118-foot tunnel has faced ongoing rockslides throughout its history. Today, visitors can explore the tunnel with a flashlight to spot historical features like weep holes and rub rails. If riding your bike through its best to have a headlamp and to be cautious in the dark. Afterward, the two-mile Tunnel Hill Trail offers stunning views of the Paw Paw Bends.

The Paw Paw Tunnel was constructed over 14 years, and in effort to save 6 miles of construction, is located in a place of steep, rocky terrain. This proved to be challenging for creation and use of the tunnel. Delays of construction can be attributed to both violence among the workers and a general underestimation of the difficult nature of the project, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was nearly bankrupted by the end.

The Ardalia Trail is a moderately challenging 1.3-mile route that winds its way up the western slope of Sidling Hill. While the climb might get your heart rate up, the payoff is a breathtaking vista from the top.

Nestled in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, Eidolon Nature Preserve offers a stunning escape into mountaintop forests and breathtaking views. There's even an old stone house on the summit that was unfortunately destroyed by fire in the same decade.

Cacapon Lake's clear waters are a refreshing sight, especially on a hot summer day. The lake's surface reflects the surrounding mountains and trees, creating a picture-perfect landscape.

Stretching for over 16.7 miles, it winds through the Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area before emptying into Sleepy Creek itself. You can enjoy the scenic beauty of the stream and the surrounding woodlands as you explore this wonderful area.

Reaching Devil's Nose requires a hike, but the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views. This jagged jut of sandstone towers over Meadow Branch Creek. You can choose from a short, moderately challenging out-and-back trail that leads directly to the overlook, or opt for a longer loop trail that incorporates sections of the historic Tuscarora Trail and offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains.

The Paw Paw Tunnel was constructed over 14 years, and in effort to save 6 miles of construction, is located in a place of steep, rocky terrain. This proved to be challenging for creation and use of the tunnel. Delays of construction can be attributed to both violence among the workers and a general underestimation of the difficult nature of the project, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company was nearly bankrupted by the end. The tunnel was primarily used by canal boats until the closure of the C&O company in 1924. Now, it is appreciated by visitors for its product of impressive engineering nestled in the topography of the park's natural scenic beauty.
