Over 2 miles to the tunnel but totally worth it.

Great little quiet park. We seen a good bit of wildlife. The trail is pretty flat so taking the kids was great. I will suggest a flashlight for the tunnel part. The kids got kinda scared in there in the dark. Found some really cool carving on the tunnel. Some as old as 1805. We will definitely be visiting again.

Great place to bike or walk. Live how they incorporate history lessons along the trail and the tunnel is something to see! Highly recommend!

Had a hard time finding either trailheads because of lack of signs marking where to go. Plus there are alot of roads closed trying to get there from any direction. Will go back up when I have more time to actually get to the tunnel before dark. Will give a better review then.

Very cool tunnel, and a nice way trail.

Great flat run, good kids hike.

Very clean trail. Good nature hike. Lots of history.

Great fall walk with beautiful fall foilage!

Its nice... Course.. I got off the path a bit.

Didnt hike the full 2 mile trail, but I did hike a little bit of it and the scenery was beyond beautiful.

Great historical park. First railroad tunnel ever dug by hand in the United States. Great hike of 2.5 miles to the tunnel. Picnic tables and restrooms are also provided. The hike is through the Laural Highlands. Great scenery. I suggest checking this historical land mark out.

The Staple Bend Tunnel is always fun to visit. It has an interesting history and its a great bike ride for young children, only two miles from the Mineral Point trail head.

Great addition to our Allegheny Portage Railroad roadtrip. A beautiful walk, 6 separate trains passed on our way to from the tunnel. Definitely wear appropriate shoes. Wish there was more at the park entrance. There was only a few signs regarding the tunnel and a porta potty.

Love running here! Interesting trail and very well maintained.

Easy 2 mile trail to the tunnel. The awesome thing is in the summer its much cooler in the tunnel and helps you cool off. If you keep going after the tunnel it becomes the path of the flood trail n gets more challenging but i guess thats for a different review.

Interesting PA history!

This site is a 2.1 mile hike plus the return. The grandchildren and we enjoyed the walk on the old rail bed,an easy walk. The tunnel is the first railroad tunnel that is 900 feet long. Well worth it.

Trail is well maintained. Along the trail there are markers that explains the history of the trail.

Great trail to enjoy nature and go for that walk or jog that is needed to stay in shape! Also has alot of history to enjoy about the railroad. The tunnel is absolutely amazing!

One of my favorite places to walk!!! Love bringing my dog here! Love getting to the tunnel at the end also, very cool!!

What a great place! Its full of history and well documented. If you go beyond the tunnel by bicycle, the trail change as does the terrain for bicycling. Its our favorite place to ride! The tunnel is a great cool down, too!

Nice level area for walk. Little under 2 miles to the tunnel. Good place to bike also. Trail kept clear of any fallen trees. Also amazing how the tunnel was built and it still solid today.

Beautiful scenery with frequent train traffic on the day I was there. Easy slopes with little to no elevation changes.

EASY ACESS, PARKING LOT, SMOOTH TRAIL, GREAT RIDE, Amazing fews of the path of the Johnstown flood. Trail does have one area of steep up Hill in the middle of the trail. But I was amazed at how much forest green space and it was a great experience riding the trail. Minerpoint to Franklin. Definitely a must experience.

Nice level trail surface

Beautiful place..Great walking trail

Perfect short ride and great for kids. Good parking and neat sights along the way.

Best 2 mile trail around, entirely flat, great historic tunnel.

Its a lovely place to go for a stroll in the afternoon. Its beautiful year round. Ive had a lot of lovely memories here

I live the river beside the train tracks but just stay away from them when a train comes by and dont cross the private property lines

4 miles to travel to the tunnel and back. Out house bathrooms at beginning of trail only. Great historical site of the oldest railroad tunnel in the USA

Beautiful Trail! Flat graveled path great for the whole family well worth a trip. Walking and cycling friendly.

The tunnel is actually about a two mile hike from the parking lot, so plan for some hiking if you want to see the actual tunnel.

Its a beautiful trail and an amazing date idea

Worth a visit

Nice 2 mile flat trail into the woods to see the first railroad tunnel, also nearby little conemaugh river offers beautiful views and kayaking!

Beautiful and highly recommend if like hiking

Nicely maintained, smooth and wide bike/hike path. 2.4 miles one way to tunnel.

Beautiful place for a walk or bike ride to see the first railroad tunnel in the US

GREAT Bike trail

I walk there 2 times a week

Beautiful place to walk close to home!

A cool place to visit

So beautiful
