Stock Creek Passage

Over 200 years ago, early adventurers like Daniel Boone walked these same hills and valleys we see today. Walking in their footsteps makes their journey come alive as you hike into the tunnel. View the tunnel from the inside out. This strenuous walk will include crossing boulders and rocks, just like the early adventurers. Once inside the tunnel you will learn how the tunnel was formed and is still currently changing. Wading attire, a flashlight, and a wading staff are highly recommended.

Pre-registration is required. To reserve your spot for a program, contact the park office at 276-940-2674. The cost is $5 per person. This program is open to anyone age 8 and up. For your comfort and safety appropriate footwear is required; flip-flops, crocs, or sandals (including Chacos) are NOT allowed. Pets are not allowed as well.

Natural Tunnel State Park is proud to offer red/green colorblindness correcting outdoor glasses by EnChroma during all offered programming; three protan red sensitivity and three deutan green sensitivity are available for use during programs.
